The VP nominees' debate takes place amid bad news for the McCain campaign. Several polls show John McCain trailing Barack Obama nationally and in battleground states.
Today news came from Michigan that McCain is abandoning his campaign in the state. He has has pulled out his campaign staff and ads so he can redeploy to states he thinks he can win -- like Ohio, Wisconsin and Florida.
Michigan was a key blue state the Republicans hoped to turn red, so this is a disappointment to the GOP. It comes on top of a lot of bad news recently -- including reviews of Sarah Palin's interviews with CBS' Katie Couric and other national and state polls.
It adds urgency to tonight's debate, which starts now.
