"McCain will go off TV in Michigan, stop dropping mail there and send most of his staff to more competitive states."
And such a loss it is to us here in Michigan. The idea that McCain has given up on a full press on getting the vote out of Michigan shows the ever growing power not just for Obama, but against McCain and his running mate. In the debate tonight between Palin and Biden can continue to highlight the differences which people are finding between what the McCain camp wants Americans to think about Palin and what Americans actually think.
The blame for the current economic crisis, which is hitting Michigan extremely hard, is hitting the Republican party (which John McCain AND President Bush are members of, which McCain for some reason doesn't really accecpt) in a 2 to 1 margin.
We can see that McCain shifting away from Michigan shows that a larger problem of McCain's that the American people are rallying not just for Obama (which negativeads could try to counter) but against McCain, for which a pro-McCain ad would help but he refuses to tout his qualifications in ads and only wants to stress Obama's lack of qualifications.
On another note on tonight's Veep debate, the expectations for Palin have been woefully low even though she was praised in the debates for governor. This can clearly be seen to save Palin from the mega-disaster of her Katie interview, and by setting her skills as low, if she even just manages to avoid another "mega-disaster" then she can be billed as the 'winner' of the debates by consertatives, even if Biden does make a better impression overall at the debate. Media Matters has a good post on their site on this exact issue.
