Moderator, Oops... Can you change Mitt's spelling in the title ( I am embarassed, more coffee needed ! :-))

Romney won't win Washtenaw or Wayne County. Even Reagan lost Wayne County.

If Romney keeps Washtenaw County under 60% and Wayne under 66% Obama he'll win the state.

It shouldn't be surprising that Romney would do well in that area. Its where he was born and its his strongest area of support in the state during primaries.

However Oakland county has a particularly stupid brand of democrat fraudsters who get caught again and again and again, yet never learn.

These counties are mostly outside my wheelhouse but maybe the rest of you have an opinion.

MI went 57-41 for Obama in 2008. He won by 825,000 votes.

What was said was Romney is ahead in Oakland, Macomb ( home of the "Reagan Democrats" and 2 points ahead in Wayne County.

In 2008

Oakland -- 56%-42% for Obama 96,000 vote margin.

Macomb -- 53%-45% for Obama 36,000 vote margin

Wayne -- 74%-25% for Obama 440,000 vote margin

I have a hard time believing that Romney is ahead in Wayne. If he is, it is all over.

Unless the decline of Detroit has caused a massive population change in Wayne county, I do not see how it goes republican.

Dude...you better get over to South Detroit (you know...home of the “ballet”) and recruit a few ex-pat voters to make sure “Romeny” get the numbers.

Oh...and give “Tabitha” a five-spot on my behalf. Just mention my name, she will remember.

[WalterSkinner]

..wasn’t Macomb the county that every Michigan watcher kept their eyes on because of the strong presence of Reagan Democrats? If Michigan goes RED it will be a complete route nationally...

I’d like to think it’s possible, but no. Thank Prop 2 for that, among others. Once those unionist voters get into their polling stations, they’ll flip for Obama—he’s just not what’s driving them to the polls.
