Fight For Your Right to Palin

Sarah Palin questioned the McCain campaign decision to pull out of Michigan with an email saying, 'Oh come on, do we have to?' and Palin isn't the only one questioning the campaign's choice to leave Michigan behind. Now Kent County Republican Chair Sam Moore is taking the gloves off (mostly because it is difficult to type with them on). Moore is amassing an army of pro-Palin Michiganders that he hopes will entice Palin to visit the state. He says he hasn't had contact with the McCain campaign, but he's confident that if he can collect 100,000 signatures of Michigan voters Palin will come. He tells Vox Politics, "We are doing whatever it takes to deliver the state" for the GOP ticket. And Moore adds that McCain's decision to pull out of the state has actually helped increase activity in the state Party office in Grand Rapids: "It's been busier here in the last week than it was in the past several weeks."

Not to be outdone, the Michigan Democratic Party has created its own petition, calling for Tina Fey to visit the state.
