Palin Bummed About Michigan Pullout

More from Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s interview with Fox News’ Carl Cameron…
Palin says she wishes the McCain campaign hadn’t made the decision to pull its staff and resources out of Michigan.
“„“Well, it’s not a surprise, because the polls show we’re not doing as well there, evidently, as we would like to. But, I read that this morning, also, I fired off a quick email, and said, ‘Oh, come on. Do we have to call it there?’
“„“Todd and I, we’d be happy to get to Michigan and walk through those plants of the car manufacturers. We’d be so happy to speak with the people there in Michigan, who are hurting because the economy is hurting…I want to get back to Michigan, and I want to try.”
It’s worth noting that Palin appears much more comfortable in this interview than she was with Katie Couric. However, Palin’s comment raises a number of intriguing questions.
First, she read about the pullout this morning?
The story was being reported yesterday afternoon. Nobody from the campaign shared this with her yesterday?
Granted, she spent the bulk of the day preparing for the debate with Sen. Joe Biden. But the decision to cede one of the largest battleground states to the opponent with just over a month left till the election is one of the biggest the campaign can make. If she was neither consulted nor even told of the decision yesterday, does this indicate that she is not privy to any of the internal discussions within the campaign?
I’m not saying she should be arguing with Steve Schmidt over tactics. But is she not even consulted for her opinion about how she can contribute to the campaign’s overall strategy? Does she have any role other than appearing at rallies and spewing talking points? Would this role change in a McCain-Palin administration?
In other news, Cameron promised that Palin will finally answer the question of what she reads in a forthcoming segment. Stay tuned.
