Republican National Committee Pulls out of Maine

On October 16, the night before Sarah Palin made a visit to Maine, the RNC announced that it would be taking its television ad's out of Maine and they would be putting focusing advertising dollars more in the "traditional red states," rather than more blue states such as Wisconsin and Maine. Although this was a strategic move by the RNC, and the McCain campaign should not have put money in this state in the first place, the RNC should not have pulled out on the eve of Palin's visit to the state.
The McCain campaign does not seem to be on the same page as the RNC, considering something like this happened. Either way, the Obama campaign is outspending the McCain campaign by 2-1, and McCain does not have the same amount of money Obama has to spend on states that are not likely for him. Instead of wasting money that he does not have to waste, the campaign and the RNC need to converse about which states these ad's will proove to be more effective and beneficial for the victory in Novemeber.
