Breaking: McCain Pulling out of Michigan. 1 Down 49 to go.

EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) -- Republican presidential candidate John McCain is giving up on winning Michigan.

Republican officials with knowledge of the strategy said the GOP candidate is shifting resources to other states. Democrat John Kerry won here in 2004, but McCain had tried to make it a target to switch parties this year amid economic problems in the state.

The news came as Barack Obama campaigned in the state Wednesday.

The Arizona senator canceled a trip to the state next week, he won't run ads on TV after this week and is dispatching staffers to states that show him in stronger position.

The Republican National Committee also just went on TV in Michigan, but there appears to be no plans for that buy to continue either.

Well this is great! This must mean they aren't even going to attempt to steal the Michigan electoral votes.
Obama drove the snakes out of Michigan. Woo hoo!

5. Obama's plan is paying off- McCain can't compete.

7. Keep up the registrations and GOTV

On further thought, you can't trust a Rethug. This could be a ploy to have Michigan dems let their guard down. Don't let up till the polls are closed on election day, Michiganders.
