| Not that most of us didn't already know this, but... It’s far too soon to know whether the presidential contest will blow open into a laugher or remain competitive from now until Election Day. But if the race stays close until the end, a mere four or five states are likely to tell you whom the next occupant of the Oval Office will be. Right now, those states look to be Colorado, Virginia, Ohio, Nevada and Michigan.
There are a few Michigan-specific paragraphs. Summed up, he picks Michigan over Wisconsin and Pennsylvania because of our long-time economic downturn and says that because we have a weak Democratic governor that people might want to try something new. That seems like an awfully big stretch to me. I mean, I don't know anyone who actually blames our economic woes on the governor. But, I only live here (and have, for the better part of the last three decades), rather that dispense wisdom from afar. So, I guess the question is really, "What do I know?" |
