Stupak also has a strip here on the west side of the lower where I am. I think the reason the UP runs Rat now is the colleges in Marquette and Houghton. Otherwise, “Da Yoo-Pee” would run red.

Don't discount the fact that there are (de)generations of welfare dependents in the UP. The mines closed with the help of the unions, military bases closed, ancillary businesses folded and trash like Stupak slither in. Hadn't thought about NMU and LSSU, but you raise a very valid point.

LSSU is the Patrice Lumumba University of the North. That's where many of the jack boot wearers that inhabit DNR and DEQ come from.
