Pretty much as I suspected at this point. Michigan voters are flirting with the Republican in the summertime like they always do. Come September/October they'll come home.
No way is McCain getting 15% of the AA vote.
Obama will likely get slaughtered in Macomb Co. and the white-working class in Saginaw and Flint. Hopefully those Oakland numbers hold up. Kerry only narrowly won it. I always had a suspicion Oakland would be solidly for Obama but not by that much.
Yeah, the white Wayne county residents are going to be the most racist of the bunch. I'd like to see the precint data once the election is over, it's going to be bad.
My advice: Just wait.
