Team McCain Pulls Out of Michigan
Looks like John McCain and his camp have decided to cut bait in Michigan after their efforts to win over voters in the Midwestern state didn't quite pan out as they'd hoped. Instead, as Politico reports, McCain's team is focusing on other important states like Florida and Ohio.
