Either way, Debby StabaCow is toast.

You really think so? Man, I hope you're right but remember it was the convenient idiots of the UAW who got her elected in the first place along with their long time socialist do-gooder Lenin, oops, Levin.

Much can happen in the next two years, but I won't be surprised if McCain drops out at the end. He is playing the game now because doing so brings him more attention. If he realizes in a year or so that getting into the actual primaries will bring him less positive attention, he'll be out.

"I hope you're right but remember it was the convenient idiots of the UAW who got her elected in the first place along with their long time socialist do-gooder Lenin, oops, Levin."

Lots of those Union idiots are the ones that lost their jobs, and left for another state to screw up. The ones that stayed are rethinking the socialist propaganda that have caused so many plants to close.

Of the 91,000 jobs lost in Michigan in the past 3 1/2 years, union jobs took by far the biggest hit.

The big problems for Stabacow this time.....

Grandstand is also on the ballot, and she is way down in the polls. I doubt that moderates and independents that vote to dump Jenny are going to split their ticket to save "Do nothing Debby".

Now add in the Keith Butler and Kilpatrick factor.

If Butler wins the Republican primary, that will seriously split the Detroit vote.

Kilpatrick and Grandstand have been at war since 2002, they hate each others guts!

Kilpatrick and Butler both draw the bulk of their support from Detroit's Black churches, that will throw a wrench in the Detroit vote.

Neither Grandstand or Stabacow can win without carrying the bulk of the Detroit black vote, it wont take much of a split there to doom them both.

Now, on to the Schwartz race...

I doubt the RATS have put up much of a challenger there, Tim Walberg doesn't have a gaggle of others to split the Aug 8th vote with, if he beats Schwartz its over, he wins easily in Nov.

A crushing defeat is in store for Michigan RATS in November.

IMHO

Detroit is already down to 900,000 people and I wouldn't even gather a guess as to how many of them are employed or even care about being employed. UAW volunteers as well as socialist party volunteers literally go door to door getting people out to vote (democratic of course) and the UAw even even provides shuttle service to the polls.

Add to that that the rat volunteers are allowed to violate voting laws by being able to stand inside the various stations handing out rat campaign literature designed to be able to set on top of the ballotts and all they have to do is follow the instructions and candidate pictures.

My neice's husband can attest to that, he waited in line for over 3 hours to vote in 2000 and watched as buses and vans unloaded all the blind, crippled and crazy at his voting station on Detroit's far east side.

Detroit won't be split as evidenced by the reelection of Swammi Kilpatrick and the other city council morons. The deciding votes are going to come from the UAW rank and file up in Flint, Bay City and Saginaw.........
