First there was Michigan, then came Wisconsin

You recall how a few weeks back, McCain famously, deliciously, and ignobly skedaddled out of Michigan. It appears that the Republican National Committee has given up the ghost on Wisconsin as well:

The Republican National Committee hasn’t booked ads for the next week in Wisconsin TV markets after running a series of spots attacking Barack Obama and congressional Dems, according to TV sources. The decision comes amid speculation on whether Republicans may pull back in Wisconsin after several polls in the past week showed Obama up over John McCain by double digits.

Out, out, brief candle.
