ENGLEWOOD, Colo. - Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin continues questioning presidential candidate John McCain's decision to abandon efforts to win Michigan.

In Englewood, Colo., on Saturday, Palin repeated her wish that the campaign had not pulled out of Michigan, where Democrat Barack Obama leads by double-digit percentage points in recent polls.

The Alaska governor says she'd "sure love to get to run to Michigan" to make sure state residents know the Republicans haven't given up in the state.

A day earlier, McCain's running mate told Fox News Channel she was disappointed that the McCain campaign decided to stop competing in Michigan. She says she learned of the decision when she read about it in the newspapers.

:wow:

[ogneopasno]

1. See? She really DOES read newspapers!

Why do you have to be so negative? /sarcasm.

[WillyT]

9. Yeah... But Can She Remember The Name Of It ???

:rofl:

[Clovis Sangrail]

14. ya' know.. the one that uses that black stuff for the letters /nt

[uppityperson]

16. Huh, was it in the tabloids already? nt

[trueblue2007]

25. Why do you not see that Palin is ignorant?? Are you sticking up for her??

[ogneopasno]

26. Did you see the sarcasm tag?

Just checking.

[TwilightGardener]

2. LOL! We all know she doesn't read newspapers, but nice try there, you brain-dead twit.

[monmouth]

3. Wouldn't you think she'd read a newspaper or listen to a news report?

I mean, she's really only window dressing, but she would do well to fend for herself and be responsible for getting her own news....

[FrenchieCat]

4. The fact that the campaign is talking out loud about this in front of mikes

instead of behind closed doors, leads me to believe that this was done for effect to stimulate grassroots support for a GOP Michigan "you're on your own" movement.

Everything they do is for the sake of PR and nothing else.

[TwilightGardener]

7. I agree--they keep making a big deal about this and trotting out the show pony

to comment on it. It's not an accident, but I don't see the strategic benefit of painting your campaign as giving up and looking like losers.

[FrenchieCat]

11. You are correct in terms of strategy........although I believe that this

is just another tactic...the only thing that McCain knows.

They are just hoping that Palin Lovers will be energized enough to keep up the spirit to fight.

It is elementary, like most of the McCain tactics this election thus far.

[Radical Activist]

22. Or its a ploy to get more donors to fund a MI effort..

"If you give more money we'll go back to MI!"

[ncgrits]

15. But if they are actually "clever" enough to do some kind of double reverse

trickity-thing . . . do you think Palin gets it? Do you think she's in on the trick (wink, wink) or do they just leave her out there twistin' and doin' her folksy thang?

I think she really is out of the loop--whatever the damn loop is actually about.

[Radical Activist]

21. Or its a fake out.

What if they go back in after Obama pulls back?

[Richardo]

5. That was my first thought when I heard this yesterday...

..she's obviously not in the inner circle in her own campaign.

[WillyT]

8. Nope... She's Just The Window Dressing...

I wonder if she gets that yet?

:shrug:

[yy4me]

6. That is how you treat puppets, proof she is of no value except

to bring in anyone silly enough to fall of a wink and a smile. She is no more than a hand puppet for the behind-the-scenes thugs that run this country.

She just doesn't know it. It is pathetic to see someone like palin thinking that their presence is important. She is the tool they need to keep up the devious behavior of these last 8 years.

[Motown_Johnny]

10. LOL; she learned about it by reading about it in the newspapers.. Like she reads newspapers

gimme a break

[RagAss]

12. They only tell her what to do. They don't trust her with shit.

[sandyj999]

13. It's been obvious from the beginning, she is the showpiece.

He is a user of women pure and simple.

[Warren Stupidity]

17. Liar: 'she says she read about it in the newspapers'.

Uh - no she didn't. We have already established that the arrogant ignorant nasty asshole could not name one newspaper or magazine that she reads.

[Azlady]

18. Either did not trust her with information or

she is caught up in the good old boy network. To not be a part of the decision or at least informed of the decision says that I either Mcsame & staffers do not trust or, do not have faith in her. I personally think it is a big statement that she was not informed, that she had to find it out in a newspaper... surprising she actually knows what a newspaper is and can actually read it!

Come on, lets face it... if you were making a serious decisions, would YOU want her in the decision making process????? Frightening thought, huh!

But boy does that say that McSame has NO respect for his running partner?

[Kber]

19. I guess they didn't want her to worry her pretty little head about it

I wonder if she really thought that they weren't sexist, or if their inate sexism just wouldn't apply to her.

[WillyT]

24. Yep... Would Love To Hear How The PUMAs Justify This Shit !!!

:banghead:

:wtf:

:shrug:

[saltpoint]

20. They would have liked to tell her, but it would have involved sending

her a map, and telling her about all the different states separated by the lines, and then pointing out which one was Michigan -- "It's this one right, here, Governor -- the one by the great big lake!" etc.

[mscuedawg]

23. Sucks that she didn't get the memo...LMAO n/t
