And the plan would be.......what, exactly? To win Oklahoma by 50%??

Mobilize - without it being detected by the news media or his opponent?

worst. post. ever.

So Obama and all his supporters and workers in Michigan would not notice that McCain is still running commercials there, if he were, which he won't if he pulls out like he claims? So, if commercials run then he hasn't completely pulled out, right? So possibly they would use their thinking heads and brains and deduce that maybe they should investigate and choose a course of action accordingly. Just possibly though, not certainly. So. I will broadcast this scenario to all my peeps in my hometown of Ypsilanti, and if they can take time away from their non-jobs at Ford to spread the word we might just have been in time to divert this potential disaster. All thanks to this post.

Or. Or! It could be that McCain is losing in Michigan by a huge margin. Possibly huger than many polls indicate and also a gap that has just grown bigger over time. Even after the debates. Meanwhile, as EVERYONE knows, Obama has brought many so-called pink and red states into play forcing McCain to spread his money thinner than he'd like. Thinner perhaps than public matching funds can spread? Maybe. Logic would dictate to cut bait and focus on fights you can win. But nonetheless, I've fired off an email to my boys in Y-town to put them on alert and they're on it...

The sky isn't falling. The sky is rarely falling. Pointing up while looking down, and then screaming The Sky Is Falling is lame.

Sorry for the harsh reply.

I'll let the mob decide this one. My apology was meant to be sorry & pathetic. The level of discourse was established by your previous posts which offered not much in the way of persuasion and failed to consider logic.

As an aside, what do hessians have to do with a trojan horse and what do either have to do with Republicans in Michigan?

Again, the sky is sunny and blue in Michigan, not falling. Hand wringing over the perceived intricacy of the Rovian tactics is a kind of an negative-pollyannaism that helps nobody.

That's why my response was less than kind. I, and many others I think, are tired of hearing the hand wringing and worry-warting every time the GOP farts. The McCain camp pulls a move that is bad for them on every level, and it follows logically from all the data available that they were forced into it, and instead of being happy about it, it's seen as some sweet move that'll win them the state and therefore we should all worry about it? Please.

I've no doubt that McCain and the Michigan Republicans would like to lull the dems into complacency. Why? Because it's all they got. But it's not a strategy. It's what they're left with. Complete and total desperation - essentially it is the last and only pathetic chance they have in Michigan when they quit campaigning there. By default, it's all they have, not a tactic they've chosen. I live in Arizona now and haven't heard the same sort of worries from the Republicans here. The fact that McCain is dominating here and Obama barely has a presence is seen as a good thing by them.

McCain conceded Michigan. It's GOOD news.
