Clintonian action there. Those two numbers are the most interesting to me.

Macomb County is predictable because we all know what resides there in decently large numbers...

So as Macomb goes, so doesn't go Oakland County? Since Macomb is full of middle-class Catholic voters and Oakland is more demographically favorable to Obama, would it be fair to assume that McCain will either maintain or grow Bush's '04 victory margin in Macomb and Obama will either narrowly win or come close in Oakland?

I don't know, but the idea of Obama winning Oakland County by 20% is rather arresting.

Well, if he won three people to McCain's two...
