McCain gives up on Michigan?

Politico's Jonathan Martin has a telling scoop:

John McCain is pulling out of Michigan, according to two Republicans, a stunning move a month away from Election Day that indicates the difficulty Republicans are having in finding blue states to put in play.

McCain will go off TV in Michigan, stop dropping mail there and send most of his staff to more competitive states, including Wisconsin, Ohio and Florida.   Wisconsin went for Kerry in 2004, Ohio and Florida for Bush.

If this is indeed true, then it adds weight to the growing sense that Obama isn't just going to win this election, he's going to win it comfortably - at least in electoral College terms. For a long tie, Michigan seemed one of McCain's best chances of pinching a state that went for Kerry in 2004. No longer, it seems. If the writing isn't on the wall yet, the pen has certainly been picked up...

I know a lot of people in Metropolitan Detriot and they are fed up with the republicans, blaming them for the state of the US car industry. Factories are closing all over the area as Detroit car volumes decline and production is shifted, either to lower cost places in the US with foreign owned plants with non-union labour or overseas to low cost countries. Suppliers to the big three are being hit even harder than the car companies themselves. This is affecting white collar jobs as well as blue collar jobs. The housing market has been in a deep decline for longer than the rest of the US.

Biden vs Palin: The Debate for Which the World is Not Yet Prepared... You know what anticipation breeds, campers? That's right, disappointment. Steel yourselves for a let-down. It's almost inconceivable that tonight's Brouhaha in Missourah can meet expectations. We're not expecting a "debate" are we? We want a WWF show. Or, as the Politico boys put it: With all their potential for pitfalls and insta-classic moments, the pair has made the build up to the showdown, to take place here Thursday night at Washington University, feel more like a NASCAR race than a serious political forum: the audience may be tuning in as much in anticipation of cringe-inducing pile-ups as they are to watch the typical parry-and-thrust of debate. Expect Dullsville then. Which would be a shame since, lord knows, these events could do with a little craziness. Bear in mind too that for all her cor-blimey-did-you-see-that? awfulness in interviews so far, Sarah Palin has reduced expectations to such a low level she can scarcely fail to meet them. And yet, she has surprised us before, so who knows? For his part, Joe Biden offers his own rich brand of entertainment and, given how little attention has been paid to the Voice of Deleware, one must hope he lets it rip this evening....

Palin on Cheney and Football Will it never end? In fairness, the question "What do you think is the best and worst thing Dick Cheney has done as Vice-President?" isn't altogether fair. That is to say, one can't expect Palin, alas, to start talking about torture. But still, did she have to say this? PALIN: Worst thing I guess that would have been the duck hunting accident--where you know, that was an accident. And I think that was made into a caricature of him. And that was kind of unfortunate. So the best thing though, he's shown support, along with George W. Bush, of our troops. And I've been there when George Bush has spoken to families of those who have suffered greatly, those who are serving in the military. I've been there when President Bush has embraced those families and expressed the concern and the sympathy speaking for all of America in those times. And for Dick Cheney to have supported that effort of George Bush's, I respect that. Meanwhile, Palin reveals that Rudy is her favourite movie. No wonder the McCain campaign is abandoning Michigan. (Biden, by contrast, chooses Chariots of Fire and seems to have a thing for Eric Liddell, one of...
