BREAKING NEWS: McCain pulling out of Michigan, 60% say NOT Qualified!

What can be only viewed as a sign of how rapidly the race is shifting Evan Tracey, who tracks national ad buys for the Campaign Media Analysis Group, stated that as of Tuesday, McCain was outspending Obama in Michigan. Now McCain is apparently pulling out!

John McCain is pulling out of Michigan, according to two Republicans, a stunning move a month away from Election Day that indicates the difficulty Republicans are having in finding blue states to put in play.

McCain will go off TV in Michigan, stop dropping mail there and send most of his staff to more competitive states, including Wisconsin, Ohio and Florida. Wisconsin went for Kerry in 2004, Ohio and Florida for Bush.

McCain's campaign didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

Also a McCain event planned for next week in Plymouth, Michigan, has been canceled. One can only look at the recent polls there have shown Obama extending what had been a small lead, with the economic crisis damaging an already sagging GOP brand in a state whose economy is in absolute tatters.

And a DEBATE PRIMER.....60% of the US say Palin NOT QUALIFIED!
ABC News released this poll today. What would Richard Dawson say on his old show Survey Says!

Skepticism about Sarah Palin has soared since she entered the national political stage, with six in 10 Americans now doubting her qualifications for office and fewer than half convinced of her grasp of complex issues. Just 35 percent say Palin has the experience it takes to serve effectively as president, down a dozen points since early September; 60 percent think not, up 15. And just 46 percent think Palin "understands complex issues," while 49 percent think she doesn't -- a poor assessment on this most basic qualification.
