A damn shame, as the folks in the western part of the state are relatively sane. I was shocked by the margins by which Macomb and Oakland Counties went for Obama. You would think they would have enough of socialism.
the Western part of MI is like a different world. Grand Rapids is the only place i have ever been to and the people are great.
I live in a county in Illinois (DuPage County) that USED to be conservative. I was absolutely SHOCKED to learn 54% of this county voted for Obombination!
It is very discouraging to be surrounded by such idiocy. Dems won big in most races, so things will only continue to get worse. Depending on what the Obamanation does to the military, we may have to leave. Lived here all my life, but you gotta feed your family.
I voted for McCain/Palin. Many other people in mIchigan did too. Just not enough to outnumber the major cities and other automatic Democrat voters.
Also some people who should have known better voted (in my opinion) against their common sense best interests. I talked to some of the people I knew who voted Democrat.
Something about they thought it was time for "Change".
Well, I think they're going to get "change" all right. Just not the kind they were expecting...
As for Michigan, plenty of us voted for McCain/Palin - I figured having Godly leaders and a President who was sure to be strong on National Defense was the most important thing.
Unfortunately too many Americans voted for "Change", and now we all get to suffer for it...
