Republicans signaled this week that they might have given up hope in two important swing states.

The Romney campaign and conservative groups like Crossroads GPS have pulled TV ads in Michigan, Romney’s home state, according to the Detroit News.

Nor are the campaign and super PACs running advertising in Pennsylvania, after unleashing a barrage there over the past five months.

It is still possible for groups to purchase TV advertising in either state at a later date.

The PollTracker Averages show President Obama ahead 48.9 percent to 45.4 percent in Michigan, and in Pennsylvania, where he leads 49.9 percent to 41.4 percent. Subscribe to *Elections 2012*

A mistake. Obama not polling at 50 or above in each state is an indicator.

I agree.

I grew up in Michigan. I still have family and friends there. In 2008, most of them voted for Obama. This year, they are all supporting Romney.

In 2010, Michigan voted in a Republican Governor. There is no reason why Obama should have a lock on the state, even with the GM bailout.

even with the GM bailout.

How many there actually profited from the bailout??

Around here it did nothing, all the plants that were open before the bailout closed afterward... I think the only "GM related" parts plant still open is one that makes diesel engines..

It's a great question.

Democrat politicians were suppose to prosper, but a lot of them got booted out of office.

Sure, some people are working today that would have been on unemployment insurance. That cost us a net $53 billion. The societal cost of temporarily saving each job was astronomical.

In reality, the auto companies could have went through a standard chapter 11 process in the courts and would up in better long term shape than they are today.

Unfortunately, the average Joe or Jane is too busy watching "Real Housewives" or "Monday Night Football" to pay attention, so they defer to power hungry politicians to make these big decisions for them.

That's true, but the reason I've heard as to why that didn't happen is because the primary asset holders of GM got threatened by the regime to not interfere and that's how the unions got control..

ROTFMAO...

Your 'sources" say that the the GM stockholders WANTED to the UAW in control of the company??? LOL.

Please don't listen to the kooks. There is almost NO ONE who owned GM stock that wanted the UAW in charge of the company.

Please...

Why do I post on this nutter board? That's a question that I have to answer myself.
