“I think you’re seeing a turning point,” said Saul Anuzis, the Republican chairman in Michigan, where Mr. McCain has decided to stop campaigning. “You’re starting to feel real frustration because we are running out of time. Our message, the campaign’s message, isn’t connecting.”

Concern in G.O.P. After Rough Week for McCain
With a party incumbent President at the lowest ratings in history, economic meltdown on his watch, the current candidate's positions lurching from day to day, strongly advocating a blank check and infinite timelime to an unpopular and budget busting war, a running mate who beleives in witch doctors and is married to a successionist... If they are so out of touch to think the problem is their message, consisting now of one notch above hate speech, is
not connecting with the voters, then the GOP relinquishes all claims to the title of opposition party.
