I work in the media [View all]

In Michigan. I've been flooded with press releases for weeks from every possible special interest group you could imagine. I've also been following the polls pretty closely which, despite a slight Romney bounce after the first debate, have always had President Obama in the lead here in US automaker country.

Suddenly tonight I'm getting messages from the Campaign to Defeat Barack Obama and Take Back America claiming that Romney has quietly taken the lead in Michigan because the Obama campaign hasn't spent any money here. This is based on a Fox News Detroit poll. It's nonsense, of course, but am I missing something somewhere? Everything I've seen shows the lead increasing.
