Say what you will about the Yoopers

[MrScorpio]

But they're all BLEU!

[TahitiNut]

1. I find that heartening ... and surprising.

I notice that Alpena (where my uncle lives) is blue, too. That ups it a notch in my view.

2. Say Yah to DA UP!

My guess is that environmental and Great Lakes protection issues swayed them.

3. As a former Yooper, it has pretty much always been Blue.

4. I was surprised how badly Devos got his ass kicked outstate

He did well in Kent, Branch, and on the east side, Sanilac, Lapeer and St. Clair. I know I'm missing some places, but t wasn't that many. I thought Granholm would lose most of the smaller northern lower peninsula and UP counties. Not at all.

5. Granholm did lose Emmet County ...

Petoskey, Harbor Springs ... no surprize there.

You are right, though, mercifully not many wanted that sleaze Devos.

6. My home county of Oceana went Granholm.

It's usually pretty red.

I'm in shock!

For any Oceana dems lurking out there, CONGRATULATIONS!

My mom was with you!

7. I got my dog in Manistique

And she is blue!
