yeah, I am afraid that the bloom is off of the rose. He is trailing in  
Michigan by 7 points according to a quote on CNN, Michigan, union central and  home 
to closing auto plants should be firmly in Obamas back pocket and was  months 
ago. His recent speeches though don't show anything new or for that  matter 
much that makes sense. It bolsters the argument that his inexperience is  an 
issue.

partners.  Watch for cauldrens and black  cats....bobf

BY ABDON M. PALLASCH Staff Reporter  
GREEN BAY, Wis. — Hoping to shore up support in his suddenly undependable  
backyard, Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama flew here Monday to  talk 
about how he’d handle economic crises as president.
Recent polls have  shown that Wisconsin — once pretty solidly in Obama’s 
column — is now a  statistical dead heat between Obama and Republican John  
McCain.

“You all know that you hold this election in your hands,”  Sen. Russ 
Feingold, a Democrat who said he worked on ethics legislation with  Obama, told a 
crowd of about 6,000 cheering Obama fans in the arena next to  Lambeau Field. “We 
just barely won this state for Al Gore in 2000 and we just  barely won this 
state for John Kerry in 2004.”

The numbers in  Wisconsin and Minnesota are getting close enough that the 
Obama campaign  closed its 11 campaign offices in North Dakota and moved the 50 
staffers there  to these two states.
Just a week ago, John McCain and his vice-presidential  nominee Sarah Palin — 
who can bring out crowds the way Obama can — appeared in  this same stadium, 
Resch Center, to a crowd of 10,000 fans. There were an  uncharacteristic 
amount of empty orange seats for Obama’s  rally.
