It's wild that Clinton's going to campaign in Allendale, Mich.–a small town in Dutch, GOP west Michigan. Voted 69-30 for Romney in '12

I haven’t been a Michigan resident since Debbie Stabenow was running for the state House, but I’ll always have a soft spot for the Mitten. Which is one reason I’ve been obsessively following Dana Houle’s twitter account…
Big reason everyone is in Michigan is because of early vote there are so few other places worth campaigning in the day before the election

Not if you’re worried about TC the day before election day RT @JohnJHarwood: Mike Pence in Traverse City: "we're going to win Michigan!"

(Traverse City, which was a sleepy little local resort town when the Spousal Unit was growing up in the area, is now a high-dollar resort town where snowbird retirees show up to golf when the Florida summer weather becomes oppressive. Very GOP-leaning, in a normal year.)
Also, following the next thread led me to a really charming under-the-national-radar news report:
Trump camp confirms he'll be in *Michigan* as last stop before Election Day: 11p Monday night rally in Grand Rapids, per aide. #MichMadness

Just as he did in Minnesota, Trump says the acceptance of refugees has hurt Michigan: "What they're doing to your state is disgraceful."

This Trump crowd in Michigan reminds me of the massive, enthusiastic crowd that Romney drew in Philly burbs on eve of election. (He lost PA)
