I'm confident my state will break Hussein's back, and put the dem party in a wheelchair for a good long while.
All the signs are here. Obama is so desperate he has to shore up his union thug base in Michael Moore's hometown of Flint as I type.
DU will be on suicide watch by Wednesday.
Obama’s lead will soon become a past figment of his imagination. His day is coming. Before that, I see him dropping his VP and trying to bring in Hillary.
Wait...I thought Obama was going to be challenging McCain in Virginia and Georgia....not that McCain was going to be challenging him in MI....can’t wait till we show up as competitive in Oregon and Washington. The D’s are really gonna wet themselves then!
I am fully aware that this might well be just a rapid run up. So I’m going to enjoy it fully while I can.
But....bounce or permanent lead, we are still going to win!
This is still “bounce.” Need to see if it has sustainability, or better yet, momentum.
This is good, but I never have any hope for Michigan and PA, we always at some point tighten up in the polls, but in the end the RATS always win in both states.
I’m more hopeful this time, but still cautious.
NM, OH, CO, and FL go our way, then we won’t need MI or PA.
Right?
Any polls dated BP (Before Palin), are just total junk.
How sweet would it be if McCain carried Michigan? The guys over at DU would be throwing acid on their keyboards.
Mixed emotion on this one. Obviously I want Palin/McCain to win MI, but I now hear McCain has joined Obama promising $50 billion in a rescue package for Ford, GM, and Chrysler...at taxpayer expense.
I never understand why MI votes Dem. Especially considering all the failures in MI Dem politics.
But...if McCain can win Michigan, then surely he’ll win OH, PA and IN. This whole election would be DONE if true.
Take a look at the PARTY ID’s in this poll:
Democrat 39%
Republican 33%
Other 28%
and the Age Groups:
18 to 29 14%
30 to 45 30%
46 to 65 39%
Older than 65 17%
VERY large “Other” base in this poll either means that MORe are ID’ing as Repubs, or FEWER DEMOCRATS are now self-ID’ong as Democrats...
Remember, this is HEAVILY UNIONIZED MICHIGAN.
And the Over 65 Demo is HEAVILY under-polled.
If I recall correctly, CNN’s 2004 Election page had michigan as 24% Over 65 in 2004, but I can’t find it now.
Thanks for posting. Very interesting.
With the “Sarah Bounce” McCain has likely taken the lead in Ohio, Colorado, New Hampshire and possibly Pennsylvania, while strengthening his lead in Florida. I’ll bet New Mexico is a dead heat now. Palin has skinned and mounted Obama in the Rockies.

1% is not a lead, it’s a “dead heat” as far as polls go.
That’s one of many things I get so tired of with the media, how they can breathlessly treat 1 or 2 percentage points in a poll with an error margin estimated at 3 or 4% as significant.
There are several threads of this poll. Let’s NOT ping it. It’s a dem poll and there will be plenty more battleground polls coming soon enough.
Obama needs Michigan to win. McCain can eke out a victory without it if he can nail FL, VA, CO and some of the other swings. Obama losing MI would be a disaster for him.
Michigan usually goes democrat BUT I’m not sure this time. Detroit of course will, but much of the rest of the state is no doubt less enamored of Barak...especially with the Detroit mayor connection. It’ll be close, but I think McCain has a chance here.
Good thing Obama broke his word on public funding, he’ll need more money than he can gather to defend all those blue states that McCain is threatening in. But what the hell, what’s the big deal about a man breaking his word?
Do I smell a landslide?
