Means little. Who are their secretaries of state and did Soros money buy their election?

MI has a GOP Secretary of State.

I queried my city clerk and asked them how they handle absentee ballots. They keep them all locked up and secure and count them at city hall after the polls close. They do not send them out to be included in the precinct tallies at the precinct voting site. I think this process dramatically cuts down opportunities for mischief. I am glad I took the time to find this out, as I mailed my ballot back 2 weeks ago.

He told me that he saw a tremendously funny billboard near the now closed Jeep plant that said:

President Obama:

We built it
You broke it
We will fix it
You are fired November 6, 2012

And it showed pictures of working type folks. We surmised it was paid for by the pi$$ed off workers who lost their jobs when Obama “fixed” the auto industry.

He said he hardly saw any Obama bumper stickers anywhere in OH or in MI. He even thinks PA is in play.

This is going to be an interesting 3 weeks.

Bradley Effect

Let’s just hope that the storm surge brings a new majority to the Senate, and a supermajority to the House.

Maybe the last debate Romney simply addresses the audience- including and especially the TV audience, and ignore Obama except for the occasional “there he goes again” line.

I’ve been thinking that Obama is setting himself up perfectly to get nailed with that line (directly invoking Reagan), or a variation of it when he keeps going back to the $5 trillion tax cut crap. Could also be in reply to 47% trolling. Either way, Obama is desperate for a knockout, swinging wildly with the most obvious and most absurd attacks, and leaving himself open as a result.

I think the disillusionment with Obama and the way the media have promoted and protected him is huge. I’m still holding out hope for a repeat of ’72 or ’84. I’d settle for a repeat of ’80, but I’m still holding out hope that Romney will take the entire Northeast (save for Vermont) and the entire West Coast. I even think that Illinois is in play. The only states that are safe for Obama right now are Maryland, Vermont, D.C, and maybe Hawaii.

Call me a nut, but that’s what’s in my gut.

Use the time to seal the deal with America while Obama continues to attack him. Who would you vote for then?

Just mostly ignore Obama, Mitt. He brings nothing to the debate. The job is to sell yourself to the country, not roll in the mud with a peevish, arrogant ass.

but there seems to be a tidal wave building here that is going to be much more massive than people (political pessimists like myself) ever saw coming.

That’s what I am seeing. It will gather momentum.

Never underestimate the ability of union trash to kick the rest of the nation in the teeth in an effort to keep themselves solvent. The UAW would demolish(ed) anyone everyone if it meant their and kept their breadbasket stayed filled.

FIFY Bish.

and Hopey hasnt been to Oiho almost 30 TIMES because Alxefraud thinks its a Dem lock.

Desparation.

IF by some chance Romney steals Penn or Michigan it is a huge coup – and probably means he won in something of a landslide. (by modern defnitions)

As a Michigander, I am skeptical. This is a state that is on the verge of sending Sen. Debbie Stabenow to a third term, RE-elected Jennifer Granholm, Detroit re-elected Kwame Kilpatrick as mayor when his problems were obvious (currently on trial for corruption) and Matt Millen once got a contract extension as Lion GM.

We are known for blindly supporting incompetence.

Debbie Stabenow – Probably but by what margin. Hoekstra got it close a few weeks ago but a couple small polls by firms I haven’t heard of have massive Stabenow leads. Not much polling in general, he could benefit from a Romney effort.

Jennifer Granholm – True but that same state had elected Engler to 4 terms (I think it was) before her and Snyder after.

Kwame Kilpatrick – Detroit gonna be Detroit. Even TX has some craziness in Dallas and GA in Atlanta, can’t hold all of MI responsable for Detroit. Also, at the rate it’s shrinking it won’t be the largest city in MI or even in its own metro area in a decade or 2.

“I do think he should take the opportunity to snatch Michigan and help rebuild it into a core Republican state like it used to be a few decades ago.”

Exactly. Obama is in trouble now* because he didn’t work to expand his map. He’s been playing a defensive game and it’s costing him. You want a fight on their half of the 50 as much as possible. and you do that by turning purple states red and blue states purple.

*policies/results aside. speaking purely electoral strategy
