Palin, Petitions, Pulling out, Polling down...

Just for the record, I'm not angling for a job at Variety.

The McCain-Palin campaign's recent decision to suspend operations in Michigan was widely reported this past week, as was the latest poll that shows Obama with a very healthy 16 point lead (Rasmussen's October 8th poll).

Michigan Republicans are feeling a little abandoned and have started a petition to convince Sarah Palin to come back to Michigan.

No to be outdone, the Michigan Democratic Party has started a petition to bring Tina Fey to Michigan.

As my good friend and frequent commenter Sator Arepo might say, "an hilarious development".
