Before Sarah Palin shakes up Washington, she seems inclined to shake up the McCain camp. The Alaska Gov. tells Fox News that she disagrees with the decision to remove staff and resources out of Michigan.
When she learned of the plans for Michigan Palin said she "fired off a quick e-mail and said, 'Oh come on, do we have to?'
Palin isn't the only Gov. questioning the campaign's decision to pull out of Michigan. The state's Democratic Gov. Jennifer Granholm also called for McCain to stick around Michigan — albeit in a sarcastic plea to Michigan Radio:
"A candidate who is so out of touch on the economy as John McCain, who thinks the fundamentals of our economy are strong, however he wants to spin that, he could benefit from being here, and listening to Michigan."
Democrats ignored Michigan in the primary after the state bucked party rules and scheduled a primary before February 5th. At the time there were fears that Michigan voters would bear a grudge into the fall, but recent polls suggest that's not happening. Maybe the McCain camp is taking a lesson from the Democrats and hoping they'll pique some interest if they play hard to get?
