Look at the Red/Blue Michigan map and any moron can see where the problem is and it ain't due to the lack of GOP activity. If this writer can figure out how to convert the socialist UAW to conservatism and convince the rest of the red state to "go forth and multiply" then the GOP will have a chance. Unfortunately the "go forth and multipliers" won't be a factor for another 18 or 21 years.......
The issues of outsourcing, the corporate obsession with kowtowing to Communist Red China (and subsequent race for the bottom) and islamic terror cells in your state's midst need to become issues the Michigan GOP owns outright. At that point, you could probably not only get the rank and file to ignore UAW slates, but essentially, you could crack the UAW's back outright.
