McCain Reportedly Pulling Out of Michigan

As the polls pull away from him in Michigan, John McCain is reportedly pulling all TV ads in the state and moving most staff to more competitive battlegrounds. The move means that McCain is not playing offense in any 2004 Kerry states except New Hampshire, which has just four electoral votes.

Isn't McCain still trying (however ineffectively) in Pennsylvania?

Kurt Vonnegut's take on history could apply to this election. He said that history was a series of surprises and that studying history could only teach us to be ready to be surprised again.

If there is a sudden upturn for Republicans after the vice-presidential debates, I think the suspense will probably go all the way to November.

If you can call wondering which DemoPublican's name will end up on the Oral Office door "suspense", yeah.

DemoPublicans, Every One,

Its actually:
Republicrats & Democrans, as coined by Sage Francis circa 2005 on the album "A Healthy Distrust".

And don't mock oral.

We just call 'em as we see 'em.
I see 'em as DemoPublicans & RepubliCrats, and I've been calling 'em that since well before 2005.

Sage is perfectly welcome to call 'em as he sees 'em, and I won't quibble about his choice of terms.

Trust me..., I would never mock oral.

I was mocking The Whitehouse, which must be more like anal.

"I was mocking The Whitehouse, which must be more like anal."

See, World Leaders, we talked, we learned, we definately settled our differences.

Call them what they are, which is DLC-Republicans, Democratic Leadership Council Republicans -- even though they have heavily populated the left side of the spectrum, they are of the right side of the spectrum, the Conservative Republicans Right Wing Movement to control our country and the world. In no way does any DLC Member represent the left side of the spectrum at all, but, even a DLC EXTREMIST Republican playing the part of the Democrat will surely do better than the EXTREME Republican who doesn't see any need to patronize the left at all.

The Right Wing's buddies did what they were told and it is imperative to the Right Wing that their buddies be bailed out, and the Right Wing has to try and make certain that the only ones paying for their massive corruption is the populous, that they are trying to drowns infrastructure in the bathtub. All populous representatives in the House, should not vote for this bail out at all. WE THE PEOPLE must not allow ourselves to be railroaded into being loaded down with the RIGHT WINGS CORRUPTION that the RIGHT WING is fully capable of accepting. If they don't want to accept responsibility for their corruption, then they should have to face the music for extortion, because this bail out is a whole big conservative right wing extortion scam.

McCain is still putting resources into Wisconsin, which was a Kerry state.

I think McCain is also putting a lot of resources in Minnesota as well which has not gone Republican for a long time.
