John McCain is giving up on winning the battle ground state of Michigan.
Battleground: Dropping Michigan Posted: Friday, October 03, 2008 9:19 AM by Domenico Montanaro
Filed Under: 2008
The Politico broke yesterday’s big news that McCain campaign’s was retreating from Michigan.
The Associated Press calls the McCain pullback "a major concession," and notes that local Republicans were blindsided by the call.
The Free Press offers this nugget. "McCain campaign manager Rick Davis called former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney to tell him of the decision to pull out of Michigan just before Romney -- who grew up in Oakland County -- got on a conference call with reporters Thursday. Romney was holding the call with McCain strategist Doug Holtz-Eakin to raise claims that Obama's policies are no good for Michigan's struggling economy."
One of McCain's co-chairs in the state is disappointed with the decision to withdraw. "Chuck Yob, a co-chairman of McCain's Michigan effort, said the campaign's own polling showed other states as better chances than Michigan. 'I don't think it's a very good decision,' he said of Thursday's pullout. 'I think it's wrong. But they've got to pool their resources in the states where they think they can win.'"
and so it begins
