Cornering the Kucinich demographic.

en. John McCain and his running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, were greeted at Metro Airport in Romulus by two women who had been Democrats, but have decided this time around to support the Republican ticket.

Holding a sign that said “Hillary Democrat for McCain Palin,” one woman was visibly excited by the encounter, clutching her chest and bouncing up and down after a hug from McCain and Palin.

The other attended a house party in Detroit for McCain last week and described herself as a left wing independent, who supported Dennis Kucinich for president during the primary season.

Before leaving for the rally at Freedom Hill in Sterling Heights, the Republicans stopped off at the Renaissance Center in Detroit to pick up the endorsement of the Fraternal Order of Police, an organization of more than 325,000 law enforcement officers around the nation. The group is holding a national meeting in Detroit this week.

McCain and Palin will address a rally in Sterling Heights set to start at 6 p.m.

An official with the Sterling Heights Police Department who declined to identify herself described traffic conditions near Freedom Hill as “a mess.”

She said that Metro Parkway between Groesbeck and Mound Road was “a parking lot” and that officers from both the Macomb County Sheriff's and the Sterling Heights Police Department had been dispatched to the scene to help deal with the traffic.

Obama, seeing hope in Ohio, shifts schedule there

By PHILIP ELLIOTT, Associated Press Writer
29 minutes ago


DILLONVALE, Ohio - So much for the full-on 50-state strategy. Call Barack Obama's implementation of national Democrats' coast-to-coast plan "Fifty-State Lite."

Barack Obama's strategists say they will pick and choose where to spend time and money. Sure, the presidential candidate is spending time in previously-Republican Indiana and North Carolina, but the true focus is going to be areas where he simply must win.

Despite early optimism, Obama's strategists are mapping out an electoral plan similar to Democrat John Kerry's from 2004, with a few tweaks. Obama still is pushing into traditionally Republican and rural areas, such as this farm region along the Ohio River. But don't look for the Democratic presidential nominee in, say, undeniably GOP Idaho.

If HRC were at the top of the democratic ticket this election would be a real race. But not now. Obama is in full retreat.

After their speeches in Cedarburg, Palin and McCain ducked into The Chocolate Factory to greet customers and sign autographs. After Palin met a few people, she turned to the ice cream counter and said: "I've got to get the moose tracks, please. Moose tracks, you know, near and dear to my heart. I can't go wrong with it." She was handed a waffle cone with a giant scoop.[
