This is actually pretty funny. For the past few weeks, Hillary Clinton has become the great defender of Michigan voters. She went to Detroit last month to deliver the message that she alone was fighting for them:

 Quote:
“The people in Michigan and particularly Democrats in Michigan know that Michigan matters in both the primary and general election,” she told a crowd of more than 300 people at the AFSCME Local 25 union hall in Detroit. “If the Democrats send a message that we don’t care about your votes, I’m sure that John McCain and the Republicans will be happy to have them.”


Huh. Interestingly, the people of Michigan have a different take -- and it's not good for Clinton. From Political Wire:

 Quote:
Sen. Barack Obama "holds a small lead over Sen. John McCain in the race for Michigan's 17 electoral votes, but McCain holds a significant lead over Hillary Clinton," according to a new EPIC-MRA poll.

In general election match ups, Obama leads McCain, 43% to 41%, while McCain leads Clinton, 46% to 37%.


EPIC-MRA is the polling firm for Michigan.
