There’s no way Detroit was going to vote for him to the point where it would have made a difference in the state.
There is more to Michigan than just Detroit. Flint, Saginaw and Bay City are probably the the next 3 largest cities and all have been severely impacted by the recession here in Michigan.
As for Detroit tho, there are going to be less Detroit voters voting for HObama then voted for Clinton back in 1992........

Detroit is only 9% of the population of Michigan (compared with 29% in 1950). The population of Detroit has been falling for sixty years, and is now less than half of what it was in 1960.
Nothing that happens politically in Michigan can be explained by Detroit.
