Yongin....

Wayne County is a mystery to me.

However, I may get flamed for this but it is history.

Remember the state wide referendum on Affirmative Action? It went down 58% to 42% in favor of repeal.

How shall I say this, as someone who is not a Michigan native, I was shocked at peoples "attitudes" and I can be traced back to 68' and 69' when Detroit burned. I hate to say it but it this may play a factor as well on top of Obama's incompetence, lack of patriotism, and outright gall that will cost him Michigan.

I can't disagree with you on this, and I'm a native who grew up close enough to see part of it. It goes both ways. A lot of Detroit area blacks resent whites for "white flight" and a lot of white ex-Detroiters blame blacks for wrecking their city.

This state voted for Jesse Jackson in the 1988 primary. It voted for George Wallace in the 1972 primary.
