McCain Campaign Leaving Michigan

[Temporal Renegade]

I think unless something major happens, McCain is finished. If he's pulling out of states like Michigan and Obama's advancing in states like Ohio, Nevada, Virginia, AND Florida, it spells doom for the GOP.

If things keep going like this, the election won't be a contest - it'll be a route.

And if (when) Obama does win by a huge margin, it'll be a nice change from the post-election wrangling and misery we all had to endure in 2000 and 2004. I still keep hearing some of my fellow Democrats whine about how both elections were "stolen"

Of course, I cannot wait to hear how Fox News, Rush, Hannity, etc spin the election results on Nov. 5th. That'll be interesting to see.

I've heard some speculation, that if the contest is within 3% or so, the GOP might try and 'steal the election, like they did with Bush'.

Trouble is, with the percentages being so out of whack, I don't think this will happen.

I wonder if he still pulls out of Cindy?

It's really game over John. Take that rich heiress and find you a nice island in the south Pacific....

How many do you think he already has?

Slightly off-topic, but I've recently heard that my home state of Missouri has gone from "leaning McCain" to being a "toss up". Is there any possibility that we matter this year?

What? "Raising the white flag of surrender?!"

That doesn't sound like McCain.

Does this?

"We can't bust heads like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to tell them stories that don't go anywhere. Like the time I took the ferry to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe so I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on them. Give me five bees for a quarter you'd say. Now where were we, oh yeah. The important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have white onions because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones."

If they cannot stem the bleeding, McCain's campaign will be finished within the next week or so.

McCain "stemming the bleeding."

McCain "stemming the bleeding."

With a Razor. Seppuku was not the right move.

The clincher is that he explained some time ago that he would need MI to win the election.
