I think the debate helped him a TON. There’s also a problem here with illegals, and I think Fred’s firm stance on it also helped him. Not sure on the Romney thing yet, simply because I’m a Fred Girl. The problem is, independents and democrats are going to vote for McCain, which makes his numbers highly suspect.
I thought Romney's ads here were a good idea- focus on the failing Michigan economy and tout what he'd do to help. But it doesn't look like its working in the polls. I would guess the underlying related component to unemployment is health care. And I can see the sheeple wanting government health care because they are unemployed.
Michigan has really become one of the most liberal states. Its sad too because even West Michigan, a once hard core Christian conservative area, is becoming more and more liberal. I want to believe Michiganders will wake up. But the re-election of Jenny has shown me this state is doomed.
I like that .357 :)
