McCain can't break 45% nation wide despite Obama's slipping numbers. He should not be tempted to choose conventional VP such as Romney/Pawlenty to anticipate a win.

Choose Sarah Palin, please

I don’t think he would win MI if he picked Steve Yzerman as his running mate. MI just might be another “lost cause” kind of state, a la NY and CA.

This was a Detroit Free Press-Local 4 Michigan Poll. Over the years, I have noticed that polls commissioned/conducted by local entities tend to be less accurate than polls conducted by the big nationally known pollsters. They also tend to fluctuate wildly.

I don't think McCain is going to carry Michigan...but I would not take this poll too seriously.

Maccaca's tagline could be "whistling past the graveyard."

He is fumbling around for reasons John McCain isn't going to win. Do I smell a troll?

I concur. Sarah Palin would be a stroke of genius.

And why should we care about Michigan. Michigan has not voted Rep since 1988(Bush v Dukakis).

We need FA, NC, VA, OH.

Perhaps most striking is Obama's 17-point edge among independent voters -- a bloc McCain has cultivated since he first ran for president in 2000.

Sounds very suspicious to me.

I’m curious, do you think McCain will gain significant puma (which I’m assuming you are, given your tagline and posting history) votes in the election if, and only if, he picks a female VP?

Michigan has strong racial tension in the Detroit area, but has been in an economic depression for some time. It depends on whether one votes on the (local) economy for the socialist, or one votes on their racial hangups for the moderate.

I think McCain could win Michigan but he is going to have to run one hell of an attack machine there to do it. The message I’d be running in places like Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania is one that slams the Democrats for their over regulation and threats of high taxation which is driving companies out of state and out of the country. McCain should adopt and trumpet ideas that help create a pro-business environment and state he will work with governors to help them create business friendly solutions to their problems like promoting tax breaks to keep companies here at home. I’d even promote a new start program to let people deduct the cost of relocation for a new job and the first down payment on a new apartment etc so that people can have the flexibility to move and go where the jobs and recoup that cost.

There are a lot of creative ideas to help people better survive in the modern economy. He should also hit the inner cities with school choice, charter schools, and merit pay to make sure our kids have access to the best schools regardless of color. I know across this nation many kids are being segregated into school districts putting poorer minorities into schools designed to fail. If John McCain talks this issue with conviction. He can win votes. It is also important in the Hispanic community.

I’d also recommend John McCain spend time in churches speaking of his convictions and I’d bring up the ACLU over and over again. There is a lot of opportunity for Republicans to win but you need to make the case. You need to differentiate. Here’s where I stand, here is where he stands the most liberal senator in the Senate and 86% rating from the ACLU.

I’d make a commercial called Radicals. Tie in Ayers but list the the other radical groups he is associated with and who support him and who are attending the Democrat convention.
It would be perfect to run during the convention because the current crop of Democrats are the most radically liberal since the left first took over the Democrat party.

John McCain needs to continue to run as a archetypal Hero.
I’d even make a commercial. Protecting the innocent fighting for the weak...on and on. It is those archetypes that are at play. They stick in people’s minds and stand out.

Is “Wayne County voters” just a cute way for TIME magazine to refer to black voters in Detroit, or am I missing something?

“most accurate poster but I can’t recall their name”

“they nailed Iowa Cuacus”

Who gives a rat’s ass about the D Iowa caucus?

The most accurate pollster all-time is Gallup. They lean towards the Dems.

In the last 10 years Rasmussen has been the most accurate. He leans toward the Republicans.

Both Gallup and Rasmussen have been way off in a given election but overall they have been the best.

That is what we should look at.

Please beware of soft-shoe propaganda being posted here.

It would serve the left well to convince you that McCain “will probably lose”.

Because you are hopeful, even a little anxious, you are more susceptible to them trying to put small dents in your confidence—the left is ingenious when it comes to breaking down confidence in human beings.

I don’t know much about maccaca but please stay alert and don’t assume the premise is reality just because it is posted here at FreeRepublic.

This article came from Time.com with the help from CNN—a big RED flag from the get-go.

Hey! Thanks for the reassurance!

I was afraid all this negativity surrounding the Messiah's prospects might buffalo the supers into forcing him to choose the Hildebeest as VP (not that she'd accept) or maybe even into stealing the nomination for her (that would be bad: popcorn is fattening! plate glass is expensive!).

Yes, choose Sarah Palin! Give the PUMAs an alternative!

No state has suffered more from RATs than Michigan, except possibly NJ.

Why do they keep winning?
