“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

I've met liberals from Michigan.  Compared to them, Romney is a conservative.  Compared to the rest of the country, however... well, you can make your own decisions.

Between the Black urban vote and the UAW, Michigan is virtually in the bag for Obama no matter who the GOP nominates.  Moot point.
