11th Hour Boost for Michigan GOP
I wonder if this was the same outfit that showed Bush ahead in MI around a week before the 2004 vote though. ;(
Besides overestimating Demo strength in '02, pollsters also missed John Engler's upset win in 1990. And going way back to 1982 the GOP nominee for governor that year, Dick Headlee, was expected to get trounced but he made a very respectable showing, as I recall. Did better than expected.
The 2004 internals showed Bush ahead or at least within striking distance, or so I was told by the national folks. I do think Mitchell showed the race closer than other polls though.
Thanks for the info. For me now it's straight R, Yes on props 1 through 4 and no on 5, plus the SCOM two you recommend.
bttt
Don't worry about Detroit. Crack heads and welfare queens are too lazy to go vote.
Maybe so - but in 2004 the democratic party was driving them in buses from polling place to polling place.
One thing that will help us in Michigan is the fact that the unions, especially the teachers unions are not crazy about Ms. Graftholm.
I'll be doing by bit to boot her out of office. (as well as Ms. StabMeNow)
Mitchell had the 2004 Presidential election about right. As for DeVos, he just doesn't seem to have any charisma. I'm not really disappointed in his campaign, certainly not like I am in the Bouchard campaign. Unfortunately, besides his lack of personal appeal, the unions also hate Amway and his candidacy has probably fired up their ground game.
Folks, go here an listen delayed:

Or go to www.hughhewitt.com to listen to the excerpt later when they post it.
They discussed the MI races. The changes noted and Rove commented that Bouchard was w/in 3% and that his legislature and other resume enhancers have made him known and one county in particular he mentioned as critical as the swing that could help him out a great deal. I was in the middle of dinner listening w/ 1/2 an ear, wish I had better detail. Cross our fingers.....
Bouchard will be on Hugh Hewitt's Show (7:00pm-ish EST) !!!!!!
Yes, but don't underestimate the Dems and their "get out the dead vote" strategy.
...or the union vote, which is almost the same thing, but with heavy breathing.
I am trying to find him right now.

Good news in both races.
Down with the dimocrats!
Vote and vote conservative. Both these voices are good conservative voices.
