It was a close one -- and a heart-breaker.

She can't issue an EO and do away with our CCW gains, can she???

Detroit (Wayne County) determined the election.

Alger is in the UP(dem)
Alpena is usually dem, but this is really bad. Bush only lost this area by 300.
Arenac is in the NE lower near Alpena and usually dem
Bay County(and Bay City specifically) is a dem stronghold - Union county. Gore won it by 6,000
Calhoun, Clare are critical swing counties lost
Delta is in the UP
Eaton was a REALLY bad loss for us. That's normally Republican
Genesee County is Flint and its dem suburbs.
Gogbeic is in the UP
Ingham is Lansing and East Lansing
Iosco is in the NE lower area of conservative dems
Iron is in the UP
Isabella swings
Kalamazoo is a critical swing area we lost and big

Well at least she will be surrounded by Republican majorities. Ought to stifle some of here agenda.

Still bummed though. You promised me good news!! :)

[Dan from Michigan]

Not with Justices like Bob Young there.

[RckyRaCoCo]

What happened to the 15 point blowout she was suppose to have? 100,000 motown advantage isn't exactly the mandate everyone expected.

[Dan from Michigan]

My county swept the democraps - even voted for Rocky over Lenin...:)

[dakine]

Thanks for the post, I was at Detroit News site earlier and it had incomplete stats....

[Dan from Michigan]

The usual counties went GOP like Livingston, Ottawa, Emmett, Grand Traverse, and Kent.

53% in Clinton county is terrible, it's usually up there with 57%+ - Same with Gratiot
Gladwin was a good win in a swing area.
Ionia was weak. 56%? Should be 60%
Lenawae was a tough and good win in a swing area, as was St Clair
Jackson was closer than it should have been
Monroe and Macomb were two BIG wins, that should have won it for us.

I am visiting family in Wayne county this week. I feel like there is a black cloud over my parents house. They voted GOP straight, but I still feel the evil all around.

I'm with you.
I feel dirty -- just like I did when MI went for albore.

[apackof2]

Unfortunely Proposal 1 would have taken care of this. The sheeple in Wayne wouldn't know how to vote if the Union didn't tell them

Just to bad that the Republican party didn't put some money behind Prop. 1

Dan,

I had a little fun as an election challenger in Ann Arbor.
I managed to chase away a lying cheating Dimoquat poll wathcer. She lied about why she was there and who she was with and then when we challengd her to show her credentials she pulled out a stacked of blank, signed certified election challenger cards and began to write her name on it! Fortunately the chair of the polling place witnessed this and the Dimoquat then realized she got caught in a huge lie and she left in shame. It was fun to beat them at their own game.

I challenged a couple voters. Of course I wanted to challenge an autistic young woman who had no idea she was even voting and whose mom basically double voted. (There oughtta be a law (or is ther one already?)

One Dimoquat voter was justup in arms that I was using my cell phone to call a GOP volunteer while at thesign in area. (She overheard me asking him to come by to pick up the voter roll.) She was just so MAD that I was there - I think they just never see GOP activists at the polling locations doing what only Dimoquats are supposed to do.


All in all, it was great night.

Too bad on prop 1. TOo bad on GOvernor Barbie - but she won't get anything on her feckless "agenda" done unless it is something she co-opted from the GOP to begin with.

And she gets the blame for any failures.

Amen.

Roe v Wade is dead.

My county swept too, but with only 15,000 total votes a fat lot of good it did.

Sad......guess ole Kwame be getting his way now, huh? Do we see a flashback to the giveaways by Blanchard and milk-toast Milliken(sp?)on the horizon?

Still, Posthumus did a heck of a lot better than I thought he would considering all the slobbering over Grandholm. I wouldn't be gloating too much over this(urban/UAW vacation day)victory.

[asformeandformyhouse]

Maybe he would have got more votes if people didn't think they were voting for a dead person. 'Posthumous', get it? :)

I live here and it's not that bad.

My street was filled with Gore signs before the 2000 election.

But I have to point out that, after 9-11, *every* house that had their Gore sign on their lawn a year before now had a U.S. flag waving in front of their house.

That means something to me. My neighbors may be commie idiots, but they're Americans. Ain't no evil around here.
