History lesson: Jesse Jackson won Michigan in 1988 ,,, link

Why does everyone lump Michigan together with Ohio? If Michigan votes again I like Obama's chances- I can't see Jesse Jackson getting 55% of the vote in Ohio.

Four years later, in 1988, Jackson once again offered himself as a candidate for the Democratic Party presidential nomination. This time, his successes in the past made him a more credible candidate, and he was both better financed and better organized. Although most people did not seem to believe he had a serious chance at winning, Jackson once again exceeded expectations as he more than doubled his previous results, prompting R.W. Apple of the New York Times to call 1988 "the Year of Jackson". <14>

He captured 6.9 million votes and won 11 contests; seven primaries (Alabama, the District of Columbia, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Puerto Rico and Virginia) and four caucuses (Delaware, Michigan, South Carolina and Vermont).<15>. Jackson also scored March victories in Alaska's caucuses and Texas's local conventions, despite losing the Texas primary.<1> <2> Some news accounts credit him with 13 wins. <3> Briefly, after he won 55% of the vote in the Michigan Democratic caucus, he was considered the frontrunner for the nomination, as he surpassed all the other candidates in total number of pledged delegates.

1. Obama would do well in a Michigan vote.

But it is extremely unlikely that there will be one.

2. And George Wallace won MI in 1972

MI is unpredictable. Especially if all the Republicans join in on the Democratic re-vote.

3. Michigan can't even afford to fix their roads, they're not going to do a revote.
