Not a direct reply to WashingtonSource just a general question.
How does the loss of population in Detroit impact Michigan politics?
Does the loss of several hundred thousand votes from the greater Detroit area mean that Michigan is no longer a dark blue state?
Like all big cities, the growing underclass is moving farther out into the suburbs, not going away.
Wayne County always was Democrat. On the other hand, loss of population in Detroit has not led to fewer votes.
Spencer Abraham was fairly conservative...Robert Griffin (not the DC QB!) not so much...but yes, the seat is winnable.
