But it's still very early, and this would be such a stunner than I'm not sure I'm buying it.

industry. When NAFTA wiped out the jobs it was them who go hurt. When their governor grabbed control of Detroit it was them who got hurt. When the water was poisoned it was them that got hurt.

When you continue to be the victim of Wall Street you tend to fight back. I am very glad to see they are fighting back.

Hillary's up pretty big in Macomb County, though. Also up 2% in Oakland County, which is about 80% counted, but only by a couple percent.

The polls I saw were Democrats-only, but Michigan has an open primary. The Fox News appearance by both Dems might have opened some eyes, especially if Rs think Trump has it in the bag.

Gonna wait and see once everyhting is in, but I'm guessing the polling was just off. At the least, it will mean no one can take any race for granted!

Still Bernie by 4.1% statewide, about a third of the precincts reported.

Too close to call.

I never expected this state to go down to the wire.

And regardless of the winners in the end, having a massive turnout makes me so very happy. Because democracy.

And maybe the black vote is not so monolithic as some people would have us believe.
