McCain/Palin Poll Numbers Show Improvement in Michigan Prompting Bus Tour to Return to Michigan
* Rallies on Monday in Saginaw, Grand Blanc & Battle Creek *Rally on Tuesday in Hillsdale
[MICHIGAN] -- A federally registered independent political action committee supporting the McCain/Palin presidential ticket is returning to the Great Lakes State as internal polling shows some improvement for the McCain campaign in Michigan.
"The Stop Obama Tour" traversed the Upper and Lower Peninsula of Michigan from October 23-25 and was in Ohio at the house of "Joe the Plumber" (Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher) when the positive polling news was received.
As a result, the Our Country Deserves Better Committee (website: www.OurCountryDeservesBetter.com ) has canceled planned events in Ohio and Pennsylvania to add Monday rallies in Saginaw, Grand Blanc & Battle Creek and a Tuesday morning rally in Hillsdale.
"We are so excited to see the reversal in the poll numbers for John McCain and Sarah Palin in Michigan," said Deborah Johns, a Marine Mom who is a spokesperson for the Our Country Deserves Better Committee.
"We're still a bit behind and we have a lot of work to do, but we are feeling very optimistic about the momentum that has started to build," Johns said.
The Our Country Deserves Better Committee will also continue running its television advertising campaign against Barack Obama and in support of the McCain/Palin ticket.
"Our message to the people of Michigan is that we won't give up the fight to have John McCain win this state, so long as you don't give up fighting either," Johns said.
Specific information on the upcoming "Stop Obama" rallies in Michigan are as follows: Monday, October 27th
12:00 Noon – Saginaw/Bay City, Michigan Rally & News Conference 3071 Bay Road , Suite 200 Saginaw, MI 2:30 PM – Grand Blanc, Michigan Rally & News Conference Campaign Victory Center 12741 S Saginaw St Grand Blanc, MI 5:30 PM – Battle Creek, Michigan Rally & News Conference Campaign Victory HQ 5420 Beckley Road, Suite 361 Battle Creek, MI

I'm glad to see that Michigan may be in play.
I know that the majority of the state will go McCain, but the big city/cities will go Obama. Which segment will have the most votes is the question that needs to be asked.
Improves to what? Is he going to lose by 5 instead of 15?
I ventured into that enema I mean enemy territory the other day, and got to see many Obama signs.. That Is interesting they did not endorse the Obamster. My guess is many in the Western Farmlands (Chelsea, Dexter etc) that may get the paper would cancel if they saw that, there is only so much a conservative can take......
Detroit was enough to put Clinton over the top twice. All they have to do is hold back the Wayne County precint numbers long enough to find out what the returns are from Macomb and Oakland counties. Then they’ll know how many votes they’ll need. You watch, my friend. The last county to report its numbers will be Wayne. It always is.
McCain signs outnumber them by more than 50-1!
Now that’s a huge improvement over California. We’ve got no ID requirement out here.
The problem in Michigan will come with absentee ballots. Those are much looser, and that’s what Wayne County will use to make sure Obama wins. Mark my words, Wayne will be the last county to report its returns. They’ll wait until Macomb and Oakland county reports, and then they’ll know how many votes they need to put Obama over the top.
Michigan voter roll surges to 98%.
Almost the entire State of Michigan has registered to vote according to the Secretary of State. Most of the increase in registrations have come from Detroit and the college towns.
Anybody out there think these areas were vastly under-registered compared to the rest of the state? Or is it more likely they have more registered voters in those districts than persons of voting age?
Personally, I suspect Michigan is a write-off due to fraud. I hope and pray I am wrong, but I trust Rats to be Rats.
I wish Sarah and Todd would come here like they said they would.
It was a BIG mistake to leave Michigan. With Sarah and Todd here, they could have won it all.
When the Detroit Free Press decides to endorse McCain then I’ll be impressed. Till then I’m not convinced that Obama hasn’t already stolen the state.
Michigan is too crazy. They elected Granholm twice. I think that alone is proof that the Michigan electorate is comprised of sado-masochists.
I say this as a native of Michigan who fled west 11 years ago and landed in California.
I actually heard a McCain/Palin/RNC ad played during the Badgers game on Milwaukee radio on Saturday! Do you have any idea how long it's been since that has happened?
By contrast, the Obama ads have been running 2-4 times per hour every hour on our two local talk stations. At first, I tuned them out--now I lunge for the dial and outright turn it off--I can't stand to hear the whiny liberals praise their Messiah anymore. I wonder how many others are sick of the saturation, and how many might actually hear them if indeed the McCain ads start again.
Well then, I’m glad I left my birthplace of Center Line, Michigan back in 1973. I feel sorry for my old friends and neighbors back there.
106% of registered voters voted in Detroit in 2004. Yes,106%
McCain would need to be several points ahead in Michigan to have a chance of winning the state.
Exactly. That's why McCain pulled out. It wasn't because he didn't think his message would resonate. It would have been a great message ("Obama will do to the country what Granholm did to Michigan and what Kilpatrick did to Detroit").
It might be good that the McCain ads will now be airing. People will suddenly notice them because they’ve been over-saturated by the Obama ads. Something new will break through.
Obama is taking a lot of shady money, much of it from overseas. What does he care? He will deal with any FEC fines after the election. LOL
I am even seeing ads for Obama on Drudge and Breitbat TV, two right wing sites.
