I'm going to get flamed for this, but I don't find this information all that encouraging. With the exception of FL, the rest of this info could be spun by both camps as good news. Being behind by only a few thousand votes is nothing to get excited about, even if it is in a Dem heavy location. Secondly, who in Michigan knows, or cares, who Mitt Romney is? People are not going to flock to see him. The idea in MI is to appeal to swing voters/Reagan Dems.

KerrySpot sounds like it is spinning and hoping; not confident.

It's called a political campaign. And its called fighting for every vote.

You guys on the left lie for every vote.

I'll take my guy anyday, even if he was 20 pts down.

"..who in Michigan knows, or cares, who Mitt Romney is?"

Probably a waste of time, but the former Governor of Michigan once made a legitimate run for President. That would be Mitt's father.

The son of Michigan Governor George Romney, Mitt Romney received his B.A. from Brigham Young University in 1971, then an M.B.A. and J.D. from Harvard University in 1975. He is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Prior to being elected Governor, Romney was a cofounder and managing partner of Bain Capital, a Boston private equity firm; the 1994 Republican U.S. Senate nominee, winning 41% of the vote versus Senator Ted Kennedy in the closest election of Kennedy's long Senate career; and from 1999 to 2002 the CEO of the Salt Lake Organizing Committee in charge of planning the 2002 Winter Olympics. He also sat on the board of office supply giant Staples.

Romney was elected Governor of Massachusetts in November 2002, and is among those speculated as interested in seeking the Republican nomination for President in 2008.

How nice of you to join up just before the election. My, my, the trolls do come out.

Well, since you're here, let me 'splain it to you. There are Dem districts, and there are GOP districts. If a Republican (say it slow, RE-PUB-LI-CAN) does well in a Dem district, the Dem is finished. "Doing well" can be anywhere from winning to being, in some cases, even a few thousand votes behind, but far ahead of where you have to be.

Bush was "behind" Gore in Mont. County, OH, in 2000 by 5,000 votes. But he won the state. If we run "behind" Kerry in Mont.Co. by 2,000 this year, we'll win by six points.
