Don't you and those other 95% get it? Being a politician is an exceptional calling for people who believe their purpose is to shape nations and lead. Now they've found someone who is above even that in "The One," and they cannot believe their good fortune. If I were a voter in Cali I'd throw every single incumbent out of office...............but then I'm radical and don't believe men possess divine power. Interesting when you think about it...........all of this hoopla over The One coming from the side of the Secularists.

McCain pulling out of Michigan Jonathan Martin 1 hour, 35 minutes ago 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. ADVERTISEMENT 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. Republicans had been bullish on Michigan, hopeful that McCain's past success in the state in the 2000 primary combined with voter dissatisfaction with Democratic Gov. Jennifer Granholm and skepticism among blue-collar voters about Barack Obama could make it competitive. McCain and his running mate Sarah Palin spent the night after the GOP convention at a large rally in Macomb County, just outside Detroit. The two returned later last month for another sizable event in Grand Rapids. But 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 tatters. A McCain event planned for next week in Plymouth, Michigan, has been canceled.
