The Michigan Democrat Party encourages corssover voting
The enemy of our enemy is our friend!
But is Michigan a state where you don’t have to be registered as a D or R to vote?
The stats in the article are from REALCLEARPOLITICS:
Just email them the article and tell them to chick the stats.
Anyone in Michigan can vote, Democrat, GOP or Independent. You just have to be a registered voter
Check your private messages, BC. I sent you a good contact email for the Santorum people.
I wish I could get this analyis posted in Michigan on conservative websites and facebook pages ...
Why can’t this be done? I’m not that savvy with FB, etc. but some Michigan and other Freepers must be.
Newt, on the other hand, is by far, the most dangerous to Romney's plan than all the other candidates combined. Especially in the above described venue.
As far as I can tell, the reason Mitt jumped up so high was 2 factors... The flash polls after the debate on Thursday which Santorum flubbed, and the results of early voting which is already being counted and reported.

“The Michigan Democrat Party encourages corssover voting”
And Willard is helping by bashing Unions in the run up to the primary. Union Members made up 28% of the GOP primary electorate in 2008. Willard bashes the Union bosses hard, but here is the faint praise he has for the rank and file:
“Look, unions play an important role; I have no problem with union members and feel they make a real contribution,” he said. “But let me tell you, the union bosses, that’s a different group.”
He has “no problem” with Union Members!? What a tin ear this dude has. Not having a problem is hardly a ringing endorsement of the people who make the cars, work in the factories and the coal mines and generally make America work for elitists like Romney.
Romney=worst candidate evahhhhhh!
Willard Romney was 80% to win Colorado and Minnesota at one point, too.
Those habitual bettors who frequent Intrade are now dead broke.
Okay. Actually I had NO idea what I was talking about when I said that they were useless. I’m just emotionally unstable right now. :-)
What about the trendlines though? It seems to me most of the candidates who won bigger than was previously polled in the state were on an uptrend over the previous few days. Santorum had been trending up in IA, Newt in SC, Romney in FL, Santorum before his hat trick. That would indicate that Romney would be on the way to a win since he has moved up in the polls the past couple days.
The big question will be motivated turnout. I do know that the hard core Anti-Romney and Santorum voters will be there. Will the mushy middle turnout out for Mitt? I'm not sure. Those negative ads and robos can backfire at times. Blue collar democrats and independents, significant in Michigan will be more apt to cross over based on social issues and problems with Romney's wall street persona.
Another thing is that Michigan is allocating votes based on the new congressional districts. One candidate can win the state and lose the delegate race.
I got another call this morning from Mitt. (rolls eyes) Five on my machine yesterday.
Mary,
I’m a Romney supporter and while I think your position and actions are off - I’d most certainly care for your lab. We take in/give out about 5 dogs a year as is and my Dane has grown used to the arrival of strangers. In a very un-Romney like fashion, s/he could even ride in the car with me in the car to FL. Seriously though, drive to Detroit and make your case for Santorum. He’s not my guy but I know that you feel best about an election when you know that you did all that you can do. So go make the case for your guy!
There’s a big election after the primary and I while I know I’m in the minority of Romney supporters on FR th at nearly everyone here wants to see the end of the Obama presidency.
I hope you’re right but the thing I hate most about polls is that they so often pan out.
From local elections in my town — just for a bitter mayoral race — I know too many calls can turn one off of a candidate. It definitely happened to me.
I was like, where does this guy get the money to send out all these flyers and make all these annoying calls.
It may work up to a point but then it backfires.
Why is it we believe the polls when Santorum is in the lead, but when he’s not, we dismiss them? I heard a lot of theories about the polling in Florida that said that Romney wasn’t leading by as much as they polls were saying, and yet he won pretty handily. I hate to say it, but I think the polls may be accurate. Negative campaigning does work.
“I’m a Romney supporter”
sorry sick1...couldn’t focus after that.
But I think you said something about my dog. So glad to see we have one thing in common in that we both like dogs! :-)
Is it because he is a radical supporter of the homosexual agenda, the most aggressively pro-abortion Republican that we have ever seen rise to this level, his failure as a Governor when he won that one election?
I think it was because he wanted to get banned.
