In a desperate attempt to wrest back momentum from incumbent Andre Bauer, Mike Campbell apparently has also decided make himself scarce from the campaign trail.

He can seem to keep his commitments on the stump, but later claim to have been just as absent as his opponent. The plan isn’t perfect, but it’s less risky than a plane crash.
