1. I guess his Michigan birth certificate doesn't carry a lot of weight!

2. I find it hard to believe that Romney is ahead of Obama

in Wayne County. That is disturbing to me.

3. I believe that must be a typo. Obama wouldn't be ahead by 11 and behind by that margin in Detroit.

4. yeah, that can't be right. typo. n/t

[TroyD]

5. Should we send them a note to correct the typo? n/t

[alcibiades_mystery]

6. That's certainly inverted

I believe they mean to say Obama leads in Wayne, Romney in Oakland.

there's no way Romney leads in Wayne and the poll statewide has Obama up. The lopsided Wayne county is certainly for Obama.

7. And that lead is going to grow even further..

We hit the streets HARD today in Detroit and the other surrounding cities getting pe ople registered to vote. Dems here has teams all over and we're excited! Lots of young people are getting registered!
