It's pretty big in Michigan, too.

Agree - the economy is a big issue in MI as well (It is the biggest issue overall for the Country) -

However, the economy as a whole is going very strong - We just need to get the message out -

In OH and somewhat in MI the expansion and growth is not showing up yet (but it will!) -

Also, MI is a pro-Kerry State - It is a definite lean Kerry State - While OH is a State we must win!! -

"While OH is a State we must win!!"

Here I go again. With the way things are going in the upper Midwest, OH is not such a must win state. I'm beginning to think there is too much of an eastern establishment bias going on in Freeperland! And yes I know Ohio is not truly eastern, but for a guy like me out here its darn close enough.

I just asked my sister who live in Sioux County IA whether IA was going to get its EV votes to Bush this time. She insisted that they are. Sioux County had skulduggery last time around and Gore came up with a couple of thousand extra votes there alone if I remember right. Now they are highly motivated to see it righted this time. I predict IA and WI will go Bush country. I believe with reapportionment we can still win even if we lose NH as looks to be the case at this point. And if things stay on course we will have MN too. Of course, if things stay on the course they are now we will definitely take OH too. But we don't have to pin ALL of our hope on OH.
