Election 2008
(2008-10-03)
Republican presidential candidate Senator John McCain
Governor Jennifer Granholm says Republican presidential nominee John McCain is abandoning his Michigan campaign the same way President Bush's policies have abandoned the state for the past eight years.
McCain's campaign announced Thursday it will shift its focus and money to other states it has a better chance of winning in November.
Democrat Granholm says McCain should continue to campaign in Michigan.
"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," says Granholm.
