DALLAS (AP) — Sarah Palin questioned Republican John McCain's decision to abandon efforts to win Michigan, a campaign move she only learned about Friday morning when she read it in the newspapers.

In an interview with Fox News Channel Friday, McCain's running mate said she was disappointed the campaign decided to stop competing in Michigan. In an indication that Palin had not been part of the decision, the Alaska governor said she had "read that this morning and I fired off a quick e-mail" questioning the move.

Palin acknowledged the GOP ticket's lackluster poll ratings in the state, but said, "I want to get back to Michigan and I want to try."

Word of the McCain campaign's decision to move staff out of Michigan and stop advertising in the state broke around midday Thursday — the same day as Palin's vice presidential debate against Democrat Joe Biden.
