>From CBS News' Dante Higgins: 
 
TRAVERSE CITY, MICH. -- John McCain was asked about how he expected to perform 
with independents today in Michigan. He used the question to ask for any and 
all votes, not just independents. 
 
?People ask me about turnout, we want republicans, democrats, libertarians, 
vegetarians, Trotskyites, whoever will come out and vote for us. And obviously 
we are trying to motivate our Republican base, but we want everybody,? McCain 
said. 
 
Expecting a tight race and hoping to take Michigan, McCain vowed to continue 
even if he falls short tonight.   
 
"Wins are always important, but we're in this for the long haul. But Michigan 
is the heartland, it's a big state, it's an important election. So, I think 
it's important and we're competitive and we're doing well in South Carolina and 
we're doing well nationwide. But, a month ago we would?ve had a very different 
assessment of how things are. You never know what's going to happen next 
month,? he said. 
 
Later in Ypsilanti, Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., joined McCain on the stump and 
urged independents to vote for his friend.   
 
?This is a tough and close fight here in Michigan here today. But Republicans, 
and I want to say specifically independents and yes, Democrats?...I urge them 
to come out today and stand for a man who is a great American patriot.
