I just returned from a trip to downtown Detroit from the Eastern suburbs and it is amazing to see the political signs. They are all Democratic for Granholm, Conyers, Amos Somebody,
Vote No on 2 etc etc. There were NO Republicans represented.
Don't despair--amazingly enough, I've sighted several huge DeVos billboards--near the Parade Company (lower east side--near the Chrysler plant)
I've also seen a few DeVos yard signs around that area too. Plus, the houses they were in front of looked lived in, not like the Dem signs in empty yards. Well, they were there last week...could have been removed by now.
Bwhaha--I was just reading a website about teaching the US Constitution at http://www.nas.org/history/constitution/1_intro.html It is recounting the history of political thought and noted that "townsmen who wanted to be free of both feudal and ecclesiastical control led the way toward civil liberty as we understand it today." An oft cited phrase was "City air makes men free."
In Detroit, the air (or whatever) just makes them Democrats.
Thats normal.
Most of the rest of the state is red.
