Interestingly, the Dems seem to be far healthier in the area between the West & the Midwest (SD, IA) than they do in the area east of there (MI, OH). MI is not the first place I'd expect to see the Democrats get massacred.
One word: unemployment. The rust belt needs a miracle and Obama has failed to produce one.
Very true. Democrats rely on a lot of union support in the rust belt and with unemployment high and the natural social conservative lean of the union crowd I think this is where Democrats will be hit the hardest.
