How many threads are you trolling crying about losing Ohio? Take a Xanax.

If Romney carries Oakland by 9 and Mccomb by 16 then he will win fairy eaiser on election night.

You forgot Wayne by 2...

Darn shame Pete Hoekstra is such a dullard politically and doesn't like to campaign. Good man yes, campaigner no, I wish Doc' Steele would have gone for the seat....

Horrific. After four years of disaster, a horrible campaign, destruction of industry, disaster abroad....Americans in Michigan are apparently evenly split over communism or capitalism.

Kruschev is banging his shoe on the lid of his coffin.

God forbid anyone take a look at these polls sober, right?

When you're robbing Peter to pay Paul, you can find a bunch of Pauls to vote for you.

The Welfare State must be destroyed.

The Welfare State must be destroyed.

But how? It's too unpopular to reduce it, much less dismantle it.

The only way I can see is if there were a business boom where working was more lucrative and easier than the unions or ward bosses could offer.

Perhaps if we had free energy and replicators in every house.

If Hoekstra wins it will only be by Romney’s coattails. Obama is so disliked, when has a challenger ever had coattails? I think we will see it here. I think Michigan will go for Romney.

We can work to dismantle it now, when the cost in blood will be relatively low. Or we can wait until financial collapse and deal with a bloody civil war. Those are the only two choices.

By slowly and steadily reducing benefits, we can get to the point where underclass women decide that getting their tubes tied and getting a job is a better deal than being a welfare mom.

I prefer that to having to pile up bodies in the street for the trucks to take away after the riots. Especially if the bodies are likely to include those of family, friends, and neighbors.

I really believe there may be a third option. A flanking maneuver. Grow the economy such that welfare isn't profitable. It can be done with cheap energy easing business obstacles.

The only way to educate these people now is OJT.

Whether it's done by lowering benefits, or by raising the salaries of entry-level jobs, the advantage of welfare over work needs to be eliminated.

If the economy improves, you will see similar screaming over "disparities", and calls for welfare benefits to be raised, as you would see if benefits were lowered.

we need a big state...more than Florida/Va/NC/Col....we need a Wisconsin and an Ohio ....

OH - 18 electoral votes; MI - 16 ; WI - 10; PA - 20...

GO!! GO!! GO!! GO VOTE; MI, OH, WI, PA!!! DUMP THE OBUMSTER.

[Darren McCarty]

I agree about Hoekstra.

Doc Steele is running though, for UM Regent. Good man, and he's running an active campaign. I voted for him absentee.

And, if it goes to the US Supreme Court, who do you think has the majority there?

Depends on whether or not Roberts is smoking crack at the time.
