Michigan is a state that the Republicans had such high hopes for but recent polls show Obama up by double digits there...hence the decision to shift resources elsewhere. Obviously this is not a good sign for the McCain campaign.

John McCain is pulling the plug on Michigan, a severe blow to his strategy for taking the White House.
Campaign officials confirmed the decision Thursday to pull TV ads and people out of Michigan, as they scramble to shift resources to states like Ohio, Florida and Wisconsin.
It came the same day Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama spoke to large rallies in Grand Rapids and Lansing.
"It's not good news," said Charles Yob, former GOP National Committeeman and co-chair of McCain's Michigan campaign.
