Reagan won Michigan for the same reason Nixon did: a backlash against bussing/crime, as well as residual anti-communism among those of eastern European ancestry in metro Detroit and Lansing.

Western Michigan has the sane, but eastern Michigan has the bodies. Its the reverse of Washington State in that regard.

There’s definitely some growing anger toward democrats in Michigan. Just yesterday my former conservative congressman announced that he will run again so I’m thinking he must see the same thing I’m seeing and probably some things I’m not.

Detroit, Flint and Ann Arbor throw the balance out of whack in Eastern MI. ACORN is very active in Detroit and wouldn’t be surprised that’s how Granholm got reelected.
