When you're part of a team, some people play offense, some people play defense.
President-elect Barack Obama did not carry Livingston County, but his supporters put up one heck of a defensive stand. Obama's 42.5 percent showing was far better than John Kerry's 36 percent from 2004.
But don't take my word for it. Look at what someone at Republican Michigander is saying:
"Countywide, I consider a 55.79% win a big loss. Period. Same thing I said about the 2006% election. In order for a Republican to win statewide, 64-65% is minimum. Anything less at the top of the ticket is most likely a loss."
In other words, in order for Republicans to win statewide at the top of the ticket, they need to get at least 64 percent of the total vote in Livingston County.
That's why we Democrats keep working so hard here in Livingston County. The votes for statewide victory can come from Livingston County as well as from Wayne or elsewhere.
