GWB wasted his time going to Marquette. There may be hope for Michigan but I wouldn't hold my breath. The U.P. is populated by socialist Finlanders and welfare recipients and a lot of the lower is union, arabs and blacks.

Actually Bush did VERY well in the UP. Granholm got 58% in Marquette and Gogebic which Bush made closer. He lost Alger which is won in 2000, but that was close.

He even won Iron County - a democrat stronghold. The UP is starting to flip some.
