Michigan predictions

So what happens in Michigan? Well, I think the Democrat part is obvious. But the Republican side is a bit different. I do not see many evangelist in Michigan, so that cuts Mike Huckabee out of the picture, and the Economy is a major issue over there. So this puts Mitt Romney out in from. McCain did get a bounce from New Hampshire, because we actually matter (as opposed to 10% of Iowa, IE the caucus). So is it Romney, McCain, Rudy, or Thompson?

First lets eliminate Thompson just out of sheer numbers. Thompson has not caught on (yet or at all) and I doubt people will vote for him because he does not resonate out there. Rudy is still waiting on Florida, so we can take him out of the equation. Now we are left with Romney and McCain. So who will it be?

Before I continue, I must stress that this is an open election, so there is the chance that my thoughts are going to be way off base here. The Democrats of Michigan might come out and skew the numbers by voting for the one they think they can beat in the general election. With that said, I am going to go with my conscious here and believe Michigan is going to vote intelligently. I am going to say Romney is going to take this because he has the right stuff for Michigan voters.

I know I am going out on a limb here, but Michigan is feeling the crunch of job loss and the sinking housing market. Michigan needs a strong economic leader, a true turn around candidate who can bring economic growth. Mitt Romney is the one person who can turn everything around for Michigan and create the breeding ground from new jobs, stronger employment base, and generally move Michigan from an economic sink hole to a prosperous land of employment.

Now how will Michigan vote? That depends on who turns out at the voting booth. If Michigan is as intelligent as I believe them to be, they know what I know; Mitt Romney is the only candidate that can be trusted with the future of Michigan. It is where he is from, so it is personal. He will put Michigan towards the top of his list, and bring jobs back to the state. Mitts framework for economic growth is the plan that almost guarantees Michigan a bright future.

In short, If Michigan uses their heads, they will vote for Mitt Romney.

Romney 35%
McCain 32%
Everyone else 33%

I think my "fluke" on the NH primary will not be repeated, but I hope I will be close here. I know New Hampshire better than any other place, I have lived here all my life. I have a good feeling about my percentages for Michigan.

My prediction, Mitt Romney takes Michigan.
