McCain Pulling out of Wisconsin?
As I was driving to work today, Wisconsin Public Radio reported that Obama now has a 17 point lead in Wisconsin. The local news is reporting that the RNC has pulled television ads. Will the McCain campaign follow suit? What will Sarah Palin say?
It will be nice not to have to watch those ads anymore...

After this debate, McCain should pull out of the continental United States, and focus on Guam and the Virgin Islands.

I don't know about Guam and the Virgin Islands, but I don't think he need waste advertising dollars on Alaska. It may still be a toss-up, but Palin is gonna be a toss-out.

As a Minnesotan, I never believed the polls that showed McCain being competetive in WI. I spend plenty of time in your state, and it's just not McCain territory. Neither is Minnesota. I know it's a little early for McCain to pull out of every state, but he may as well. Stick a fork in him, he's all done.
I was talking with a friend about this last night, and he made the point that McCain was doomed from the start. The moderates in the party picked him, but McCain needs the base to win. And the base wanted Romney. They wanted Huckabee. They did NOT want John McCain. They like Palin, but the people who gave the nomination to McCain don't like her much at all. So McCain is screwed. The primary process simply didn't work for the party this year.

A frustrated Wisconsin could not be reached for comment.
(Sorry, had to do it.)

Haha, yeah, I must admit I had the same thought after I posted this.

He sure hasn't pulled his robo calls. I'm feeling stalked... 2 each day for the last 2 days.
I'm of the conviction that we have to pull the greatest landslide possible this year.
