The McCain camp announced this afternoon that it was pulling out of Michigan - conceding that state to Obama. Well, the polls were pretty clear, but making that announcement puts the McCain campaign in dire straights. They recently announced that they had raised a record amount of money, so clearly they could campaign there if they wanted to.
Looking at the electoral college map on CNN, they have moved Obama to 250 EC votes, with McCain at 189. With Obama only 20 points away, McCain would literally have to win almost ALL of the remaining battleground states to win this election. That map still does not reflect significant Obama gains in Ohio, Florida, Wisconsin, and Virginia since last weeks debate.
This certainly doesn't look good for McCain. I'd be watching for some pretty major mud-slinging in McCain ads soon. His biggest problems are that he really doesn't have anything new to offer, and independants tend to really dislike negative campaigning.
