McCain pulling out of Wisconsin?

[Popeye]

He might as well, the latest poll there had him down by 17%. Lets see, he's conceded Michigan, now Wisconsin...remember how the McCain campaign actually thought they had a chance in these states coming out of the RNC? Now he's having to pull back just to defend traditionally red states.

Man, a poorly run campaign, the Palin missteps (actually her selection was a giant misstep and a Godsend..for Democrats), the economic crisis and the superb campaign run by the Obama people have all exacted a heavy toll upon McCain.

The Republican National Committee hasn’t booked ads for the next week in Wisconsin TV markets after running a series of spots attacking Barack Obama and congressional Dems, according to TV sources.

The decision comes amid speculation on whether Republicans may pull back in Wisconsin after several polls in the past week showed Obama up over John McCain by double digits. An RNC spokesman referred calls to the party’s independent expenditure operation, which is in charge of the TV ad buys.

An official with the party’s IE arm did not immediately return a call from WisPolitics seeking comment.

Sources at Wisconsin TV stations in Eau Claire, Green Bay and Milwaukee said the RNC's latest buy ended Tuesday and no new purchases had been made for the week of Oct. 15-21. McCain’s campaign has TV buys in Wisconsin at least through Sunday.

A source at a Green Bay station said the RNC didn’t have anything running statewide for the next week. The group had been booking air time from week to week, but the RNC hasn't indicated if it will return to the air after the week of Oct. 15-21, the source said.

One Milwaukee station source said he had expected an RNC buy and said he was "shocked" that it hadn't reserved time for the rest of this week
