McCain pulling out of Michigan

According to Jonathan Martin at The Politico, John McCain is throwing in the towel and ceding Michigan. He will go off TV, discontinue all mailings, and pull almost all of his staff. He has also cancelled a scheduled rally there next week. According to recent polling, Obama has opened up as much as a 10 point lead over McCain in MI.
