Auto industry rescue on hold as Bush looks at the data
http://www.freep.com/article/20081216/BUSINESS01/812160384?imw=Y

I'll just bet that data is going to mean a lot to him. I wouldn't count on
a bailout any time soon from the WH.

3. What's he going to do? Invade Detroit?
He'll claim he'll be greeted as a liberator as Michiganites throw sparkplugs and dance in the streets.

And they won't be wearing any shoes...

9. I was thinking of those big heavy work boots...

10. The Only Statistics That Matter to Them
Yes, I can guess the kind of "data" that would determine things for Bush and that ilk, just as for the Gulf Coast: Louisiana, Democratic? "No." Mississippi, Republican? "Yes."

Here: Michigan, Democratic? "No." Ohio, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, mixed but generally Democratic? "No." Illinois, Democratic? "No." Those are the only vital statistics that matter to this group.
