Kerry Leads in Michigan, Biggest Prize to Date

[rodbarnett]

DETROIT (Reuters) - John Kerry (news - web sites) has clashed with Michigan's auto industry and unions in the past but with the state's Democratic presidential contest just two days away his bandwagon has suddenly become king of the road.


Kerry has momentum from victories in seven of the nine contests so far to determine the party's nominee, the endorsement of popular Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm and overwhelming support in polls.


Unlike in other states, where the airwaves have been saturated with political ads, the presidential campaigns have spent little money or time in Michigan reminding voters of Kerry's proposals that the auto industry warns would cost thousands of jobs. In fact, Kerry's opponents have all but conceded defeat in Michigan.

1. Kucinich is gonna be here

on Friday and Saturday. I suspect he'll be able to milk out a few delegates.

Best of luck.

Wesley Clark, Howard Dean and Al Sharpton will be here for the NAACP Town Hall Meeting tonight. There is a major uproar over no other candidates signing on. I feel to miss this is a big mistake. Michigan is wide open, regardless of the polls. :hi:

4. Nope. They are out

It was just reported on WDIV News, Clark and Dean have both pulled out of the town hall meeting.
