Team McCain has done a masterful job keeping this race within the MOE.
Give them the credit they deserve!
Clearly, you understand the situation. The RINOs know they have everything to lose if Sara continues to score big with the AMerican people. So, they are going to do whatever is necessary to make Sarah look bad, regardless of whether McCain wins or loses. If he wins, they want to be able to say that it was despite Sarah. If he loses they will say it was because of Sarah. They know that if she comes out smelling like the American Beauty Rose she is, the good old boys will be gone old boys.
Thank God, Sarah’s “Seventh Sense” (my term for those the Holy Spirit guides, guards, and girds) have told her what the RINOs are up to. And she has clearly decided to stake her own claim.
It is almost as if she were applying the Reagan Doctrine to domestic politics. She doesn’t want to contain Obamunism — she intends to roll it back! Thank God.
A replay of one of yesterday’s Fox News programs said they were hurting. They were comparing BO’s available funding and McCain’s. One of the talking heads said they probably skipped Michigan “to save money” - I might have made the wrong assumption if it was meant to mean it wasn’t worth the stop.
I thought they wouldn’t put something like that up unless it was real.
Why does the McCain camp even have to publicize this. I live in Michigan (Macomb County) and I always believed the the majority of the residents of this state live their lives as conservatives. Yet , many vote Democrat only because it’s in their family tradition and they don’t take time to understand the long term damage that liberalism has done to them and this state. I’ve worked in a union shop for the past 18 years (and in the UAW the previous 18 years). When I started there, almost every employee claimed to be a Democrat. Armed with tons of information and knowledge, I’ve been able to convert almost the entire shop (with the exception of a couple hard core union officers) to the conservative side. I’ve been branded a troublemaker by the union but our employer has seen an exponential improvement in work quality and productivity (and attitude). I never quit pounding the message, which is why McCain is making a big mistake. We can’t do it alone.
That state is ripe for the picking. Give em hell.
Don't they get she and Todd are the Secret Weapons especially in Michigan?
Look, Here is how I would play it. Send her here for a week or two. Coffee houses, Chamber of Commerce Rubber Chicken Dinners, Surprise visits to Union Halls. Meet and greets outside of churches when they let out, and Mall walks even. Not to mention live in studios with Paul W. Smith, and all the TV shows in the Detroit Burbs but live only .
But Todd is an even bigger weapon than they know. Snowmobiler, Hunter, Union man that rides a Bike.
Hello RNC.....
Do you think he can connect with the guys on the line?
Look, here is a guy that could Give UAW types powerpoint presentations about how Drilling in ANWR can feed the cars you make in Detroit.
I can figure this out why can't the handlers?
The lack of common sense is staggering....
I won’t even mention Dearborn.
How many successful nationwide political campaigns have you run?
This might be an over simplified question, but I’ve been thinking about Michigan a lot lately. What’s wrong with them?
Why are they so liberal and with the problems within their state, can’t they see liberalism doesn’t work or even help matters? Why wouldn’t they try something different for a CHANGE? I don’t understand their mindset.
If they were smart, they would put her in charge. She’d be doing the commercials and being in front of the cameras.
Hello.
The object is to amass 271 electoral votes.
W wasted time and resources in CA and it almost cost him (and us) dearly.
You don't have to publicize it for people to know. They know as soon as you cut down or stop your ad buys and scheduled visits.
For the rest of the campaign it would help a lot to just have Palin criss cross the states McCain must have to win, like VA and CO. If she can hit some long shots like MI and PA, good.
Despite what the polls say now, I feel confident McCain will win FL, OH and MO.
When I watch the McCain campaign I almost get the feeling that the fix is in. Put up a fight, but not too much and then go down for the count.
I call them as I see them especially living in MI, and I do not apologize for it.
Last night while leaving a sports venue one of the down-river moms I know a big dem, mocking kept saying "Barack Hussien Obama" and kept repeating the Hussien. Another mom lamented to bad it is a blue state, and she hates that aspect of it and is resigned to a McCain defeat and hopes for Sarah 2012.
Spoke with an auto engr friend of mine, the white collar types are more conservative, but he notes this election cycle a noteable lack of conversation about Obama.
IMHO MI is ripe for the picking, shame on the RNC for not going for it.

Thank you - then I have no idea why money was the excuse.
I think Palin would be a great attraction in Michigan - she seems a great personality for many of the people there.
well you can always try DU with your enthusiasm, sunshine.
The title of the article should be a clue that this is disinformation. It is clearly to plant the seed that there is a) a complete abandonment of Michigan, which is untrue and b) there is division in the McCain camp.
Ya sound like a bunch of scared, petulant weenies!
War-weary public
Economic “crisis”
Hostile media
GOP President with 30% approval rating
80% “wrong track” numbers
Luke-warm GOP support (thanks, guys)
And, yet, McCain is with the MOE!!!!!
Get fired-up!!
The Dems have gone over the line. They will hear us!
