Is that an accurate breakdown for Michigan? Seems high on the democRats IMHO.

[NeoCaveman]

I heard the state marraige ammendment is on the ballot in MI in November. That could be very good for our turnout.

[Recovering Hermit]

I'm ashamed that my state is so chock full of complete and utter morons.

[Arkinsaw]

I think its because they love that Buckeye football in Michigan.

[Jewels1091]

I have had such a BAD feeling lately about this election...I think we are proving that we DON'T have what it takes anymore to face the enemy down, we are just an instant society, we want everything yesterday.

I notice alot of confident Freepers yet I keep seeing Bush getting swamped in the state by state polls.

This election will be about leg work. Kerry's got lots of boots on the ground.

[sergeantdave]

Kerry (D) 52% + Bush (R) 41% = Major BS

And here's the reason why - GB is spending time and money in MI because the internal polls are showing that either Kerry the Poodle is behind or GB is within the margin of error.

Remember, published polls are done by big city democrats for big city democrat newspapers.

Is this a poll of the Michigan Buckeyes?

[grellis]

I was phone-polled yesterday, coincidentally. I did not catch the name of the pollster but it was NOT Epic/MRA, which polls me monthly.

The man polling said he had three questions for me.

Some HMOs which include prescription drug coverage will cover Viagra for men but not birth control for women. Do you think that HMOs should cover both?

(me)I don't think either should be covered because they are essentially lifestyle drugs (I'm a girl, okay? Don't flame me!)

Abortion is a safe and legal choice available to women in our country. Do you believe that there should be any restrictions on a woman's right to have an abortion?

(me)I think abortion should be criminalized.

I thank you for your time, Miss Ellis, you have a pleasant evening.

What do you suppose the third question was? Do you see how easily a poll can be skewed?

That's why it's off. There is no 8% dem lean here, and there's no way in hell Kerry will win by 11%(Klinton won by about that in 96, 7% in 92 - with Perot factored in). I'd say 3-4% Dem lean here is about accurate. Gore won by 5%, and that's with a MASSIVE black turnout.

Kerry will not win by 11% here. No one does at the top of the ticket unless the other guy is a joke or is abandoned(or both).

2002
Granholm(D) by 4% over Posthumus
Cox (R) by 5500 votes over Peters
Land(R) by 10% over a somewhat abandoned dem, Hollowell.
Lenin by 21% over an abandoned GOP, Rocky

2000
Gore by 5%
Stabmenow by 1%

1998
Engler (R) by about 30% over Fieger
Miller (R) routed an abandoned Dem by over 30%
Granholm(D) by 4% over Smetainka.

[Yo-Yo]

Gore won Michigan in 2000 52%-47%. Bush beat Gore or lost by less than 2% in every county in Michigan except Wayne. Gore won Wayne county 69%-29%. Wayne county includes the city of Detroit, and accounts for 18% of the total votes cast in Michigan.

Bottom line: Send Bush to Detroit!

[COEXERJ145]

I see the usual troll is out. Maybe we should just anoint Kerry king for life and be done with it. Might as well based on how certain people here are talking all the freaking time.

[tame]

I fear for my country. Are these polls being taken of inmates in a psychiatric unit?
