3. Dingel is NOT going down.

They have not gotten the votes from Ann Arbor yet. Once Ann Arbor is in Dingel will win.

4. Hello folks...here is an POSITIVE UPDATE......

Congressman Dingell is now leading and Congressman Gary Peters is holding on strong.....

A cut and paste from my article.........

"The only positive news for the night for Democrats, based on WXYZ projections, in the U.S. House races as Congressman Gary Peters (D) holds a 50 percent to 46 percent lead over Rocky Raczkowski (R) for Michigan 9th District.

Congressman John Dingell (D) for Michigan�s 15th District, who has served in the as a U.S. Representative since 1955, leads in his race over Dr. Rob Steele (R) by a similar 50 to 46 percent margin."

The link to the rest of the article....and the news is not good for Michigan's state wide offices.

5. Washtenaw County to the rescue.

The eastern part of the county is heavily Dem and gets counted much later. We are pulling it through for him.
