Genesee County Republican Committee worked with both those areas a lot -
What was the guys name in upper Michigan that was the survivalist that burned down the new hotel in Alanson?
Was it Michigan Mark or Michigan Dan
I can't believe that the blue-collar, beer drinking, lunch pail carrying autoworker crowd are going to vote for that sissy, henpecked rich boy John Kerry. What has America come to?
Amen, brother. Wayne County went 95% Dem in 2000. The rest of the state went about 55-45 either way. The dems in 2000 really only had success in the states where one large metropolitan area could tip the scales of the whole state.
Detroit/Flint/Ann Arbor is going to be hard for Bush to overcome. I'm a manager for an airline, and I moved here to Hawaii from our Detroit hub. The pure hatred that our employees had for the President was staggering.
Wow!!!
if Bush takes Macomb Kerry is toast
I'm in Western Michigan and a colleague and I do bumper sticker surveys each time we are on the road. At worse, it's even. As for the yard signs, we just were talking with the local Republican HQs and are signing people up for the big signs (expected in the next week). If you can, call and sign up to help. Turnout here is everything. Gore's margin of victory and the tough economy should have Kerry up 7+ points here, but that's not the case. We can make the difference. It's an incredible opportunity to participate in a meaningful way in a historical election.
George W. Bush will be reelected by a margin of at least ten per cent

Here in West Virginia, definitely a battleground state which went for Bush in 2000 despite a 2 to 1 registration advantage over us Republicans, the state Bush/Cheney headquarters had not even distributed any Bush signs as of last weekend to our county campaign HQ, and we just discovered that they will start (sometime) parceling them out in batches of 100 whenever they get around to it. Many people are disappointed there are no Bush/Cheney yard signs they can put up yet.
Fortunately, there are no Kerry/Edwards signs around either. It's only 4 1/2 weeks until the election, but it sure seems like a time warp here in my county.
It may be a result of local election laws or ordinances regarding lawn signs. The "Victory Center" in my area were well aware of the laws and did not allow distribution of any signs until it was legal. The Kerry campaign didn't bother with all that stuff....They had their signs out early.
