So what's the scoop Michigan?
What is the mood out there today? Post you observations as you voted today!
Here's what I saw....
My wife and I voted and asked the poll workers about the amount of voters that they had seen so far. They stated that there was a heavy turnout. This was only within about an hour of the polls being open.
We then picked up a friend and took her to the polls. This was a different polling place from earlier. They stated that the polls were busy, also.
Not a scientific analysis, but maybe there's going to be a big turnout today.

I don't think Bush will win Michigan; he's in serious trouble in the Rust Belt states.

13. Can you give your impression as to who Repubs back? |
|
There's chatter about registered Republican voters crossing over for the caucuses only, and backing Kerry massively (really disproportionately so.)
Does your impression tally with that?

14. Probably doesn't matter. |

The governor endorsed Kerry. Her husband works for the Kerry campaign.

10. Granholm endorsement. |
|
What do you think of Governor Granholm's endorsement considering her husband works for the Kerry campaign? Should she have just stayed silent?

12. Massive turn-outin the north |
|
Here in Traverse City (Rethuglican stronghold) we had a MASSIVE turn-out!! It was great! I must have signed up 50-60 new members to the party!!
We were jammin' almost the whole time we were open (10-4). It was a great day for the party here! I've no results to share, I'm sorry about that but I thought you all would like to know what I had to tell you.
Lastly, so many who joined today, they said they'd never joined a party before, been involved in politics, voted in a caucus and all kinds of other nevers. The one reason they all gave was "Bush".
It was a beautiful thing DUers. :toast:
