McCain Bugs Out of Michigan

I was really more surprised a couple months ago when the polls showed that Michigan was in play to begin with.

This is, after all, the state that reelected Jennifer Granholm as Governor after her administration helped to chase across the border every job that wasn't literally nailed to the floor. This is the same state that is dominated by Detroit and southeast Michigan, a city so monolithic it could put Kwame Kilpatrick back in office despite ample proof he was little more than a thug with poor judgment (even by thug standards) and a larger geographic area so brazenly partisan that it will continue to elect people to Congress year after year like John Dingell, John Conyers, and Sander Levin until, seemingly, the only living people left in the area are John Dingell, John Conyers and Sander Levin.

Many of us are truly disappointed, but some of the people being left behind are refusing to give up.

Michigan voters seem primed for change, exactly by voting for the status quo.
