Pontiac (WWJ) -- At a press conference held Monday at the Oakland County Courthouse, questions were posed to local Republicans on whether or not Republican presidential candidate John McCain and his vice presidential running mate Sarah Palin would be back in Michigan.
WWJ Newsradio 950's Mike Campbell reports any Oakland County Republican that was asked replied with "yes," but pressed for any specifics, including plans or dates for a visit -- they didn't have much to say.
Many local Republicans are saying they will not concede from Michigan - just because McCain pulled out of the state.
Oakland County Executive L. Books Patterson was joined by Republican Congressman Joe Knollenberg, along with numerous County Commission candidates and party administrators, in stating that local Republican candidates remain "strong, committed, and determined to win."
Meantime, Michigan Republicans were also reacting to the recent Sarah Palin comments about Barack Obama's past associations with William Ayers - a "1960s radical." Patterson said he believe it's fair game.
