We now have an idea why Republican gubernatorial nominee Bill Schuette's Detroit campaign office is starting to look like an abandoned property : It seems his campaign has run out of money, with just a week left until election day.The Associated Press reports that Schuette's campaign had pulled nearly $445,000 worth of TV ads across the state. The campaign hasn't given up hope entirely, however — it will still run $441,000 worth of ads in the Detroit market."Asked one R why Scheutte was cutting the buy,"national political correspondent Jonathan Martin tweeted . "The answer: lacking cash."WWJ's Tim Skubick agrees . "Basically, what this says is, the Schuette campaign is almost out of money," he said.Earlier, it was reported that the Schuette campaign had only $100,000 on hand, and that Schuette reportedly cut a personal check to his campaign for $325,000. The news also comes after two new polls found Whitmer had regained her double-digit lead over Schuette.Our Election Guide is out today; you can read it online here . The election is Tuesday, Nov. 6.
