Considering the stats in MN and WI as well as other recent polls...Michigan is winnable for McCain. He needs to make a strong effort there.

It would help if McCain made a strong effort anywhere.

John McCain could make up a lot of losses elsewhere if he picked up Michigan...

I don't think that will happen, though.

I don't get how Michigan is suddenly redder than Pennsylvania, though.

Good to see Obama picking up strength in Michigan.

IMHO, the McCain campaign has been pretty much inept throughout the general election campaign.  It's really starting to piss me off.  He can't be a reformer and darling of the far right.  Just pick a theme and stick with it.  The "Reform, Peace, Prosperity" idea is starting to move in the right direction though.

I'm with you. You all know my political beliefs and I'm wishing fellow conservatives would just shut up and let McCain choose Lieberman and be his maverick self.

I think its a combination of factors the number one being that Obama spent tons of time and cash in Pennsylvania and his presence in Michigan has been very small thus far.  Also, you've got a Democratic scandal in the Detroit mayor's office so that's probably not helping.

MI will be close as usual but I have not seen any evidence why it will swing towards the republicans this year. It was polling low for Obama due to him not campaigning in the state. I guess that may be changing. If I was Mccain I would focus on Pennsylvania before Michigan.

He still has time to pick and choose later... he's not going to be at serious cash disadvantage until after the conventions... I would wait a few months and see how the political situation, cash flow, and polls develop before ceding either state.
