Okay, Michigan is getting the message…..Can we close the deal by getting Texas?

cut and run. didnt he say he would never quit?
well, i guess thats another lie that he never tells 100%
of the time.

ohmy he musta sold his 13-bedroom house,,,lol,,,,, money means nuthung to this loser,,,,,,

RETIREMENT? SOCIAL SECURITY?

I would think Michigan would relate to Palin more than Biden and Obama. Midwestern's are down to earth people Obama is so transparent – don't throw in the towel yet – Michigan may still come around.

So McCain says he is pulling up stakes to move his focus on Maine..

Let me get this..

Michigan- 17 electoral votes

Maine – 4 -electoral votes..

That is exactly why McCain is NOT good with MATH

OR

The

Economy..!!

Guess the surge is NOT working… Cut & Run John Bush..
********

Obama/ Biden.. 2008,2012

This is more evidence of McCain's failing campaign. He has not sincerely told the voters what they want to hear. He is not genuine when he panders middle-america. Why? Because he's never been there himself. The man is clueless.

Michigan's been faultering with the democrats for years why change failure. Vote democrat Michigan it's eaiser than working!

In every respect, this is a landslide in the making come Nov.4th. The polls only tell half the story as they do NOT take into account first time voters or many 18-30 yo voters, as all polling is done to landline phones and most younger voters use wireless communications devices..I'd add 5% to ANY Obama number.

Believe me, McCain is aware of this, and he's starting to pack it in, state by state.

Scott has a great point. Obama may be saying all the right stuff, but take a good hard look!! He is not for America, I would like to see a close up shot of him saying the pledge of America. Not him ignoring the American troops and running to greet the Iraq's! Pleas people get real. He can Keep his CHANGE, as we all know there isn't any left anyway.

mccain is just a sad blip in history—-a sellout who sunk to pathetic levels to become president, yet still lost! and was quickly FORGOTTEN!!!!

McCain the sensible voters in Michigan love you!!! The sensible voters of Michigan realize that Barry Obama is a dangerous and frightening choice for America. The sensible voters of Michigan look forward to November when you will be our President. Now we just have to deal with the loonies in Michigan who voted for BO.

mccain is going to loose in november

Thanks for you efforts Kaye.

McCain is pulling out of Michigan, running with his tail between his legs, and he has the nerve to mock Sen. Biden for possible gaffes that might happen in tonight's debate. Has he and his staff gone coo coo? Have they not heard the term: "Bowing out gracefully?" Then theres the saying that goes: "Keep your mouth shut and others can only say you're a fool. Open your mouth and it's confirmed: you're a fool."

Kaye (7:45)

No one will buy into your FALSE HOPES, Florida will never go Obama.

POCKET CHANGE FOR MCCAIN.

Annie-never again a dem, you must have been in a hole somewhere for the last 8 years…. or else you are among the wealthiest people in this country. Wait a minute……. is that you, Cindy McCain? Shame on you, Girl!

mccain is not ready to lead obama is ready to lead palin not reday to lead biden is ready to lead

News about shutting down Michigan so he can focus on closer contests, like Florida, will only fire up the Obama organizers beyond description. I'm working here in northeast Florida on his behalf and my huge cadre of volunteers is mobilizing right now for a full court press in these final weeks.

McCain-Palin will NOT win Florida – no way, no how….you know the drill.

Get lost McNasty…take your negative ads and deceitful rhetoric to an old folks home. At least you'll have a captive audience for your POW stories.

Yeah, he figures all the crooks and idiots in Detroit have been bought off via their ACORN thugs anyway. Why waste any more money??! Face it — Michigan is a lost cause. Detroiters voted for Kwame and Jennifer Granholm twice. What dopes!

Another example of McCain's POOR judgement.

If it were up to him he would drop another 2 Trillion dollars in Iraq before realizing that there's a better path.

Why is it that the republicans love to take the money and run but always
accuse others of socialism?

As if the Palin pick wasn't enough? It takes him two million to realize its time to go? He has no judgement what so ever.
Obama/Biden 08/12

I got it on good authority that McCain is not realy going after Pennsylvania, his real target is Florida. Pa is a diversion to the real prize which is Fl.

I think OB/Biden will have to re-doubled effort in both states to countart act any upset.

Obama/Biden 08/12.

waiting for the witty soundbytes Palin will make tonight.

When all else fails and you are not ready to lead, make cutesy one-liners.

He knows how to lose an election. He might as well withdraw from Ohio, PA and Florida right now. No need to have a withdrawal plans for them.

The '0′ bloggers on here don't work that's why they want '0′ to win – so they will never have to work – set back collect a check. What they don't realize is the big '0′ is not going to hand them a check. All the money he racks in from us working stiffs will go in his pocket!

All I can say is Thank GOD that the voters of my state have seen the light!

McCain ran out of original ideas long ago. He just parrots whatever he thinks will win now. Then just like Bush, he will do exactly what he wants to do once he is in office. And I am quite sure that just like Bush, he will neither explain or apologize for his actions! I think we had enough of Republican so-called conservativism… which seems to mean that you don't tax the wealthy and you borrow the money to run this nation.

Must be because they are waiting for that Trumpet to blow calling us all home! If you believe you are in the Last Days, I guess it doesn't matter how obscene your policies. But I suspect that Higher Power will have something to say about the issue!

Last Days have been prophecized since the Roman days! I wouldn't bank it!

McCain is dumb

McCain is reckless

McCain is stubborn.

What else is new???

CUT AND RUN!

Why would anyone in MI or FL vote for '0′. When Sen. Clinton wanted their votes to count, he did everything he could to keep votes from these two states from counting!

Oh Shallow Ones or what do you call yourself,don't you know the whole world want CHANGE stupid!! we've being sold to the rich fat white kat

To Wendy (6:53) & Marylou (7:08)

Ha! Ha! So Funny

Go cash your welfare checks!

McCain/Palin

If McCain campaign donors were smart they would quit any financial support as they are going to be throwing good money away after bad. The jig is up and the game is over as Americans have caught on to the ever changing McCain positions.

McCain spending money, his campaign donors' money, just the way he intends to keep spending taxpayers' money—by the huge hand-full, bucket-full, war-full. Awful man.

Mccain campaign has no strategy…yes, they keep using Obama's strategy. Anybody remember Obama dropping some states?

So McCain is trading Michigan for Maine? First of all, I have to question the math here, but second of all there is no way that Maine is going for McCain not even for 2 million dollars spent there.

What's going on? McCain said he would never leave Michigan in defeat. Even if it took a 100 years. Why doesn't he listen to his people there on the ground? McCain needs to have a surge in Michigan, he can't just give us some sort of timetable and withdraw in defeat.

More Republican tricks..don't trust them..and Watch fro Palin to have an EAR PIECE tonite..some one will have to whisper the answers in her ear!

For all that Bush has done to the state of Michigan, if anyone has seen Michael Moore's documnetaries will know that is perhaps the place with the worst unemployment and homelessness in the country. It has got much worse under George Bush, no wonder McCain is too scared to go there. Well, things will hopefully change if Obama gets in. If he wins, gone will be the days of selling this country oversees like Bush has done, gone will be the days of no job creation and gone will be the days of high uneployment and crippling poverty.

Obama forever!!!!

oo well thats two dollars for his wife to drop out of her pocket……

Give up after the debate John, PAlin will take you down (Accidentally) so that Obama doesn't have to!

i don't know witch macian we'll see next roosevelt macian.eisenhower macian. reagan macian bush macian or next debate he will have a biard and a big hat

I'm sending money to the obama campaign. He is a winner.

The National Elitist Liberal Media has been attacking the McCain/Palin team relentlessly. Just watch–they'll survive and win in November!

@CNN – are you for real

CNN seems to always post my comments, but I stay focused on topics and work to counter the flavor aid tainted gushing love fest that liberals have for Obama. It is sad really because I have a minority of friends who are voting for Obama and when I ask them if they really understand his positions on things, they end up always saying…well, I still need to review his stances.

What????? Then when I tell them he is against repealing the death tax and increasing the death tax threshhold, which I remind them impacts their children inheriting their estates….they seem to hem, haw and then say "well, i don't want my kids to inherit iraq" to which I reply "there will always be war, just like israel and palestine will never be at peast"…pick the things you care about most people, but this year, the most liberal person in congress does NOT get Scott L's vote and that is Barack Hussein Obama. Why? Because I want to save as much of my income as possible NOW so that my children do not have to worry when there are future economic meltdowns when I am dead and long gone from this earth. I want them to be rich and spoiled so they don't have to worry about anything. Call it selfish. Call it bad. I care mainly about securing my children's future. The left wing socialist agendas put forth by Obama and Pelosi and crew will destroy what wealth I have generated. If it hits me, it will hit you even worse.

Good luck liberals! And remember, Scott L voted for Kerry in 2004 and Bush in 2000.

Palin need to find a rock and hide under it.

ok, I have a couple of ideas: why don't they headquarter in Alaska? if nothing else, perhaps they can just sit around and look at Russia.

if by some rare twist of fate, like the kind that got Bush elected twice, Mccain/KPalin prevail, do they think Michigan will not remember the headquarter "bailout"?

Forget it mccain, I don't think you have a chance in any of the remaining battleground states. Your sleazy attack ads are very tired and you can't scare people anymore. No one is buying your dishonest, slimy attacks.

If Palin wears a 'boxy' jacket and her hair down, I'm going to be highly suspicious of a teensy earphone device. Ok, even without the jacket, if she makes just one logical statement, I suspect the earphone.

If you post using the word "sexist" it gets posted, if you use the word "racist," it seems to never get posted.

Say what you wish about McCain & Palin, though NEVER spout off about "The Almighty Obama."

CNN – how come all I see in your comments are negative ones toward McCain. Do you really expect people to believe that you do not get any negative comments in for Obama?

I think your polls are bias as well. You are not credible.

Actually, the volume you used to have for comments has decreased a whole bunch. Could it be people are finally not buying what you are trying to sell and have dropped off dramatically!!

MCSHAME ALWAYS SPENDS OTHER

PEOPLES MONEY, MOSTLY OURS.

McCain / Palin combo is not worth to any American in the future because McCain still hang on to the policies of Bush!

So McCain abandons the people who can't help him?

Now is the time for a Glorious November Revolution. Help Obama beat back McLame and the old boys capitalist running dogs network.

Here in Ohio, we have too many guns and not enough jobs. Let's kick out the CEOs and stockholders, take their factories, and put ourselves to work, America.

It is time to give democratic socialism a try. www. dsusa.org.

You shallow individuals who post here should get a job!

You have no insight, no lives and no sense of respect, simply shallow "one line" jabs at someone who is against the "Great One."

You people do not know how to be fair nor do you understand how to follow politics to a degree of debate.

…collect your welfare checks, and continue to post on the laptop that "WE" the Republicans paid for via our tax dollars…

Get a life!

MCCAIN,,,,,,,,,IS,,,,,,,,,,,,,,OUT,,,,,,,,,,,,OF,,,,,,,,,,,,,,STEAM

there are not enough voter in michagan who make enough money to benefit from what mccain offers. besides if president mccain dies in office they would get W in drag

Even with all this, this election is way too close. I think that if the election were held tomorrow, Obama would win but with a month left, there is still time for many things to happen. And, more and more, I hear about the "Bradley effect." I hope that is just talk but I wonder if this country is ready to do the brave and forward thinking thing or if it is more comfortable with more of the same.

All is well,
Michigan does not want a Rebup in office. They are the one's responsible for the mess Michigan is in now.
Some blame our current Governor, however she came into the mess and it was up to her to make things good for Mi.?
Bless her heart at least she started THE NO WORKER LEFT BEHIND PROGRAM.
Thanks for leaving your camp out of Mi. McCain and thanks for the 2 milllion. Mi. needs it more than you could ever imagine.
Bo JB 08

IF LIFE WERE FAIR, WE WOULDN'T HAVE HAD BUSH

FOR PRESIDENT FOR 8 YEARS & WE CERTAINLY

WOULDN'T BE THE NEW POOR NATION & WE WOULDN'T

HAVE TO LISTEN TO MCBUSH LIE ALL DAY LONG.

ON THE OTHER HAND MAYBE LIFE IS FAIR.

WE VOTED IGNORANT SCUMBAGS IN OFFICE.

I guess…his gamble failed.

McCain or Obama no difference. The added earmarks absolutely shows it is time for every incumbent to be voted out. If our country is truely on the virge of financial disaster politics for their votes in this crisis is just not American. They shouldnt be just voted out but impeached and banned from running in any public office. I want their names Mr. McCain plastered all over national news so Americans everywhere know who they need to vote or impeach out.

All those Michigan gun owners will be kicking themselves in 2009 when the order comes down to "turn 'em in."

C'mon John face the facts. Since the convention, your gambles aren't paying off and your campaign strategy just plain sucks!

Judging by the vitriol, the spittle-spraying fits, the snarky comments and the just blatant rudeness, I'd say Palin actually has the hippies quite worried.

The volume of hate and spittle aimed at this candidate is directly proportionate to the level of fear they have. Otherwise, if she was honestly not a threat, why bother wasting your breath (or keystrokes)?

Please get out and spread the word. Volunteer, donate, whatever you can do.

I'm heading to the Springsteen concert in Philadelphia on Saturday. BO will be there. I can not wait. Dragging my husband along so he can see the energy.

Volunteering is so much fun. You get to work with people of all ages, all ecconomic situations, all colors, creeds, etc. It's a wonderful experience and I'm sorry it took me so long (45 years) to get involved in something like this.

Today's wave of polls show Obama leading comfortably in Ohio, New Mexico and Iowa and even having a lead in North Carolina! Full roundup here.

WE ALL KNOW, MCCAIN'S ELEVATOR DOSEN'T GO UP!

HE NEVER SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE!

There is hope. After 8 years of Bush running this country like a hobby with McShame behind him, go get out of Michigan. Take your "Maverick" sham with you! I'll be glad when this election is over. I try to objectively listen to both McShame and Obama and McShame is painfull! He's like a tumble weed in the Arizona desert. He goes which ever direction the wind is blowing. ENOUGH!!!!! I can vote right now!

Funny, I just saw another idiotic McCain ad slamming Obama. Does the man have no idea that the country is sick of this? Why can't he run a (mostly) positive campaign, as he keeps saying he is? The reason nobody believes him is because he lies all day. This started at the conventions when the Democrats were all respectful of McCain, and the Republicans did nothing but bash the other side from the first speech on. It's as if they have no platform to sell us, so they'll just make us afraid of Barack.

Democrats: inclusive
Republicans: us against them, and them, and them

McCain will quit Pennsylvainia next, followed by Ohio, Virginia, Florida
and North Carolina. Obama will win in 4-6 former "red" states. They will be "blue" for many years to come. Bush and McCain have fractured the Republican Party for many years to come!!!

if Obama wins only the states where he is presently more than 5 points ahead in the polls, and loses all the other states (including all the states where he's now leading by less than 5 points), the result is a tie, 269-269 electoral votes, meaning that the election goes into the House of Representatives and Obama wins. That's a comforting thought in view of my belief that all of Obama's poll numbers are inflated by a few percentage points because racism causes some voters to lie to pollsters.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

MCBUSH WOULD LEAD US TO MORE POVERTY,

MORE WAR & MORE HATE FOR EACH OTHER.

Wow… that's a lot of money. Things is this……. we, the People, are NOT STUPID. Fool us once…….twice…….not again!

We know about the Bush/Cheney/McCain legacy:

$10 TRILLION IN NATIONAL DEBT

OVER 600,000 JOBS LOST THIS YEAR

$10 BILLION SPENT EVERY MONTH IN IRAQ

10,000 AMERICANS LOSING THEIR HOMES DAILY

THE 2009 DEFICIT OF …….$490……..BILLION……AND GROWING

NOT TO MENTION THE LIES……..BUSH/CHENEY/MCCAIN TOLD TO ATTACK IRAQ!

WE ARE SAYING ENOUGH LOUD AND CLEAR!

I thought McCain was against wasteful spending?!

maybe McCain should have donated that 2 million dollars to the workers in MI who lost their job thanks to the republican party. It is the least he can do considering that the republicans outsourced manufacturing and auto jobs oversees and McCain wants to continue to do so.

McCain is making this so easy for Obama.

Obama : HOPE

McCain: "shred of hope"

See the difference?

I'm Fired Up

GOTV

Obama/Biden '08′

So …..the party that does not support UNIONS thought they actually had a chance to win in UAW country…. hmmmm…….in this econimic environment……..with all of his foreign automobiles……seems like very bad judgement and we have seen significant poor judgement with the Repub. parties nominee over the last months…..

McCain = change and judgement we cannot afford

OBAMA/BIDEN = change,progress, and judgement WE NEED

OBAMA/ BIDEN!!!

Ohio the Buckeye State show your support for Obama and don't let another republican put you out of work, out of your retirement, out of your house and in the soup line. I am a Ohio Native and I am angry to see what has happened to hard working proud and honest people, their families, neighbors and friends. Enough is enough.

Smart people up in Michigan.

Finally McInsane gets it he and Palin couldn't fool the American people this time. So long Mr. McSame take your tall tails elsewhere.

The irony of it all……..remember when people were saying they would not vote for Obama, unless Hillary was on the ticket. Now, many will not vote McCain because Palin is on the ticket! What goes around always comes around.

What has the Republican party been reduced to? Quitting! Maybe it all started when they statred setting the bar low with Sarah Palin! The Republicans have been reduced to accepting mediocrity from their party leaders. Such a shame to see Americans giving in like that!

Thank you grandpa McCain for helping Michigan economy with 2 mil….. Have a good night.

I'm sending Obama another contribution as soon as my Soc. Sec. check is deposited next week.

Obama/Biden '08

This illustrates just how seriously out of touch McCain is. He tries to out-spend Obama in a state he knows he can't win. Just think about how he'll make decisions in the White House…without putting much thought into them.

Well, his only hope at this point is Florida…if he loses that state, it's game over!

Obama's money was well spent. I say good luck to McCain in trying to keep NV, OH, FL red, or attempting to flip PA or NH. Not gonna happen. Check the polls after Palin's nonconvincing performance in tonights debates. The McPalin ship is taking on water fast. I dont think they can reach shore by Nov 4th.

There is so much special interest money behind the Republician Party, they can well afford the two million dollars. These people will pay anything or do anything to stay in power.

Thankfully the Obama campagin has harnessed the power of the people to fight back. We need to keep supporting CHANGE with our dollars and with our votes.

Yesterday ,I saw an Ad featuring Rev. Wright, Tony Rezko, and Bill Ayers. This was yesterday's News and now I know John McCain feels he is in trouble because he is going negative. John McCain promised that he would not go negative. He lies about Ear Marks, He lies about Obama, He lied about going negative, and he misleading the American people.

We all know when John McCain is blinking fast and speaking slow he is lying.

I am a Republican that will be voting for Obama/Biden because we need real change in Washington not another Misleading canidate.

DID ANYONE KNOW THAT OBAMA HAS HIS OWN STATION ON CABLE NOW??

ON MY CABLE ITS CHANNEL 73 AND CALLED OBAMA!!! LOL

HE GIVES A LONG TALK ABOUT HIS CAMPAIGN AND HIS ISSUES.

CNN NEEDS TO COVER THIS!!! OBAMA IS DOING MORE THAN ANY PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE… COVERING AREAS NO NOMINEE HAS EVER ATTEMPTED TO TRY BEFORE.

Now the media is corrupt, and it is to blame for freddie mac???
I don't get this…

There is NO WAY IN HECK I'm going to TRUST Mr. McLIE. He's lied every step of the way for the past 19 months. I mean, he clearly can NOT be trusted by HIS own actions. He's lied so many times, it hard to tell when he's actually telling the TRUTH!!!

It's the CHARACTER of a Candidate that speaks volumes, and speaks to their credibility. AND right now John McCain has neither qualities.

John McCain has proven himself incompetent by his own contradictive claims. Honestly, does he really think Americans are that STUPID?? It really unbelievable how much this old man lies on a regular basis.

IT SEEM LIKE THE END IS NEAR FOR MCCAIN, PENNSYLVANIA AND WISCONSIN IS NOT GOING FLIP FOR YOU OK, ITS TIME FOR THE CHANGE TO HAPPEN

OBAMA-BIDEN 08-12

I just heard McCain talk about pre-existing conditions for health care. He’s promising anything and everything now. He is once again using Obama's lines. He talks about caring for veterans, but history proves the opposite.
Now he says Obama is about expanding bureaucracy. McCain wanted to create a new commission to look into Wall Street. And McCain, we don’t have spending under control because of Bush’s wars.
When he tries to empathize with the audience he looks like he is groveling. He doesn't believe what he says. He is losing momentum and drive. He seems so exhausted.

A message to Joe:
When she tries to tout her experience Please once and for all.. Stop her Lies about the Bridge to NOWHERE..!
That "Thanks but no Thanks" Lie..
Expose how she accepted more PORK than another State per capita !
Her Running mate isthe #1 Voice in Deregulation of Wall Street ..
Yet he now wants us to believe that theyre gonna shake washington up?

Lets expose her lack of honesty re: Transparency in Gov't.!
What a Joke..!
She has intimidated Alaska State employees from answering Subpeonas or talking with any State Legislature appointed investigators into her Abuses of Power in her short tenure as Govenor.

Attack the Straight Lies Express !

And lets Remember the KEATING 5.. McCain was key to our last S&L Crash because of Deregulation he Championed for his entire career.

Don't forget Palin has a Witch Doctor Minister that Performed A Exorcism on Sarah Palin to cast out all formsof WitchCraft..
OMG..!!
Not a Former Minister.. Her Present Minister-

Rev. Murthee, the Witch Hunter! You thought Rev. Wright was scarry..

2 million Dollars to Quit!!! People in Michigan should be appauled, but the United States as Whole should recognize this as what it is

POOR JUDGMENT

I will make the famous and you will no their name.

John McCain.

Anybody for 4 more years of subpoena-dodging politians?

This shows just how out of touch McCain is…he spends 2 million dollars in September, then pulls out. And that's just what he'll do as president: Make poor decisions. If he's running out of money, fine…pull the ads, close the campaign offices…but why announce it? Especially on the night of the VP debate? Like everything else he does, this makes no sense.

Game over, John…thanks for playing!

This awhile ago – definitely unbiased in Alaska

"ANCHORAGE, Alaska – A judge in Alaska is considering arguments to block a state Legislature investigation into whether Gov. Sarah Palin, the Republican nominee for vice president, abused her power when she fired her public safety commissioner.

Five Republican legislators on Thursday asked Anchorage Judge Peter Michalski to issue a temporary restraining order. They say the investigation has been tainted by partisan politics."

just saying ——

Gamble and loose.. Way to run the campaign. McLame..
