Dems suspicious of McCain pullout
Obama camp sticks to Mich. game plan; some strategists wonder if GOP move is a trick.
Gordon Trowbridge and Deb Price / Detroit News Washington Bureau


On the day after John McCain scratched Michigan from the battleground state list, Barack Obama's campaign said it would pretend the whole announcement never happened, Democrats wondered if it was all a trick, and Sarah Palin asked for a second chance to win over the state's voters.

"We're not going to be left flat-footed here," an Obama campaign source said Friday. The source, who was not authorized to speak publicly, said there has been no discussion within the campaign of moving staff to other states, as the McCain campaign said Thursday it will do. For now, Obama's television ads remain on the air, and the campaign will continue its aggressive field organizing efforts, including a voter registration drive before Michigan's Monday deadline.

That will be welcome news to Democratic insiders, who fretted Friday about the possibility of a McCain ruse to lull them into complacency and of fears the Obama campaign would let up on its efforts here.

2. good. I think the Palin email thing was just a stunt set up by the campaign.

3. Palin got really upset when McCain pulled out too early.

That's what I call a slippery situation!

4. The Obama campaign does not fall the foolish antics of the GOP

Besides, we're not the ones bleeding money. We can play everywhere.

10. You got that right! The Obama Biden Campaign is

Lazer Focused on Winnning in November like I wish everyone were who wants them to win.

5. I bet that Rio gal was suspicious of his pullout there too...

and maybe some of thes other babes over the years were victims of the not-quite-pulled-out-in-time pullouts.

6. Totally agree. That is exactly what I thought when I first heard Sarah's goofy comments.

No let up in Michigan!

11. That's The Beauty Of Having Obama's Amazing Resources And Ground Game

He can do whatever he wants, regardless of what McCain does. He can keep resources in Michigan and STILL go after a shitload of other states.

12. Good!

Never become complacent. No matter how good things look, assume that you're fighting an uphill battle and keep pushing as if you're behind.
