Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin said Friday that she disagrees with the John McCain campaign’s decision to pull staff and resources out of Michigan.

“I want to get back to Michigan and I want to try,” Palin said in an interview on Fox News. “Todd and I, we'd be happy to get to Michigan. We'd be so happy to speak to the people there in Michigan who are hurting.”

The McCain campaign confirmed yesterday that it will be moving resources out of Michigan to more favorable terrain in Pennsylvania and Maine.

The Alaska governor first heard the news this morning and fired off a quick email to campaign officials expressing her displeasure with the move.

“Oh c’mon, do we have to?” Palin said she wrote.

The campaign says it will remain “well funded” and “aggressive” through Election Day in target states. During a conference call with reporters following the Michigan move, the campaign said it will focus on Colorado, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Nevada, New Hampshire and New Mexico.

1. There you have it. The Palin/McCain ticket returns to Michigan

[ErinBerin84]

2. psssss, Palin.

I think you're a big reason WHY they pulled out of Michigan.

3. Is this a joke?

"Oh c'mon, do we have to?"

17. Aw shucks

Golly gee

[Whalestoe]

4. She wants McCain's head on a pike.

She wants to be President and I couldn't think of anything scarier.

5. Yeah, but they are "Mavericks" so they disagree sometimes.

:sarcasm:

7. good riddance to both of them in MI.........

8. I think they misquoted her. It should have read:

“I wanna get back to Michigan and I wanna try,” Palin said in an interview on Fox News. “Todd and I, we'd be happy to get to Michigan. We'd be so happy to speak to the people there in Michigan who are hurtin'.”

Gosh darnit!

18. Doggone it, you've done it!

[frickaline]

9. oooh teh mav-rick!!1!!one!!

So much for the "we left because Michigan was in the bag" talking point.

Could the McCain campaign send out any more conflicting messages? I'd hate to think there was something they hadn't taken a double stance on.

10. The McCain campaign needs to shut her up.

But it makes me happy.

11. “Oh c’mon, do we have to?” are you fucking kidding me?

This is not Jr High! Palin is a goddamned joke.

[sandnsea]

16. I know, that was my first thought

[eshfemme]

12. Wow. What a great #2 pick! Being publicly insubordinate is always a great thing for leadership!

McCain sure can pick mavericks!

:sarcasm:

They're a team of DIVAS! It's all "me! me! me!" with these two so no wonder you see this kinda retarded bullshit coming out of the McCain camp.

[RoadRage]

25. Blah Blah Blah.. mavericks don't always agree.. blah blah blah..

Glad to know they have a fucking line for each and every issue they don't agree on. :eyes:

[npincus]

13. let her go... she'll give us a few more points there.

:rofl:

[AlCzervik]

14. yes i'm sure her and TAAAAHD will really make voters in MI feel so much better.

[maseman]

15. She probably just had her ass chewed out by Eakin or Davis

[progressivebydesign]

19. I thought your post was a joke at first. No.. she REALLY did that?? WTF?

Have we ever seen a VP publicly contradict the Prez candidate so much before??? This is weird. "c'mon do we have to?" that's what you say when your Mom tells you to stop playing video games and clean your room.

20. Worse Thing That Can Happen To The McCain Campaign Is If Palin.....

really believes she won last nights debate or even did well. It will go to her head and she'll start to make asinine statements like this one on Michigan. They might need to rein her in now - but for different reasons.

[uppityperson]

21. She did NOT say that. She said "hurtin'" No "g"s in her word endings.

[MindMatter]

22. They better damn well be watching Ohio, Florida, Virginia, and Missouri

"During a conference call with reporters following the Michigan move, the campaign said it will focus on Colorado, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Nevada, New Hampshire and New Mexico."

That's just putting lipstick on a pig (can I say that?) The truth is they are in the toilet. Rather than waste resources on all those borderline states, they will have to put more and more resource into the states that are still well in reach, but slipping away. They won't be able to defend FL, OH, MO, and VA, and also go after the states they listed. There isn't enough time and money to do that, especially when you can't let Palin out on the loose.

Please let her go back to Michigan. Please.

24. Oh, HELL NO!!! Keep that dim wit outta here!!!!!!!!

[Cha]

23. Will that fucking piece of moose-

shit fake ever go and fuck off?

[Marsala]

26. So this is their new strategery

They're going to "Let Sarah be Sarah" and try to keep her in the headlines with her folksy personality. Too bad she's already loathed by a plurality, if not majority, of Americans.
