In reply to the discussion: House seats that can be flipped [View all]hfojvt

we used to camp at Indian lake almost every summer.
Kind of a strange lake. It seemed to be 5 foot deep all the way across. When I swam in a lake I would wade out until the water got too deep. Sorta tells you where the safe area is.
Except in Indian lake it got up to my chin and as I kept going, it did not get any deeper. I got about a quarter mile off of shore and decided I should quit wading, because I was already so darn far away from shore.
Michigan 1 does seem like a bit of a long shot, given the advantage incumbents have in name recognition and money. And Romney won the district by 9%. Still doable if 5% of Romney voters can be flipped, or if our team has a very good ground game.
