VISIT TO DETROIT TO RALLY FOR
DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES. THE

GRANT HERMES JOINS US NOW LIVE
FROM RENAISSANCE HIGH SCHOOL
TONIGHT IN GRANT, WE KNOW THIS
IS A PART OF MR OBAMA’S FIRST
PRE ELECTION TOUR AROUND THE
COUNTRY. AND A VERY LIMITED TOUR
AT THAT. SANDINO PEOPLE THIS
MORNING STARTED LINING UP AT
FIVE A.M. MORE THAN SEVEN HOURS
BEFORE THE FORMER PRESIDENT
WOULD ACTUALLY TAKE THE STATION
THAT LINE COMING ALL THE WAY
AROUND THE HIGH SCHOOL HERE NOW
THE IDEA BEHIND THIS VISIT TODAY
THAT HOPING THAT OBAMA COULD
RALLY VOTERS TO GET TO THE
POLLS, THE ELECTION JUST 10 DAYS
AWAY. FORMER PRESIDENT BARACK
OBAMA, STOPPING IN DETROIT ON A
LIMITED NATIONAL TOUR SUPPORTING
DEMOCRATS ONLY VISITING KEY
BATTLEGROUND STATES. MICHIGAN
WAS SCONCES AND GEORGIA CAN GIVE
IN. THE TEMPTATION TO GIVE UP WE
CAN’T TURN INWARD. WE CAN’T SEE
POLITICS AS A ZERO SUM GAME
WHERE ANYTHING GOES RALLY FOR A
STANDING ROOM ONLY CROWD IN THE
HIGH SCHOOL GYM MEANT TO GET
DEMOCRATS TO TURN OUT TO VOTE
PLAYING HEAVILY ON ABORTION AND
VOTING RIGHTS ISSUES THAT WERE
ANIMATING OVER THE SUMMER BUT
HAVE FALLEN SLIGHTLY FROM THE
FRONT OF VOTERS MINDS AS
INFLATION HAS BEEN ON THE RISE.
PERSONAL OF HEALTHCARE CHOICES.
SHOULD BE MADE BY A WOMAN AND
HER DOCTOR AND NOT POLITICIANS.
HERE IN MICHIGAN. THIS ISN’T
EVEN THEORETICAL. ABORTION
RIGHTS ARE LITERALLY ON THE
BALLOT IN RESPONSE TO THE VISIT
THE MICHIGAN REPUBLICAN PARTY
SAYING IN A STATEMENT, GRETCHEN
WHITMER IS DESPERATION IS
SHOWING AS SHE BRINGS IN
ESTABLISHMENT REINFORCEMENTS TO
CAMPAIGN WITH HER AHEAD OF
ELECTION DAY. BARACK OBAMA’S
PRESENCE IN MICHIGAN DOES NOT
SIGNAL WHAT SHE THINKS IT DOES.
OBAMA’S VISIT COMES AS THE RACES
IN MICHIGAN HAVE BEGUN TO
TIGHTEN AS ELECTION DAY IS JUST
OVER A WEEK AWAY AVERAGE IS NOW
SHOWING GOVERNOR GRETCHEN
WHITMER, DOUBLE DIGIT LEAD FROM
THE END OF SUMMER, SHRINKING TO
JUST THREE POINTS AND OTHER
RACES ACROSS THE STATE,
INCLUDING THOSE THAT HAVE THE
POTENTIAL TO FLIP. THE U. S
HOUSE ARE ON THE LINE FOR
DEMOCRATS. OBAMA FIRING UP THE
CROWD BEFORE GETTING OFF STAGE.
PURE MICHIGAN. NOW MR. OBAMA
ONLY MENTIONED THE GOP
GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATE TUTOR
DIXON, ONCE BY NAME WHEN HE WAS
TALKING ABOUT A RECENT REPORT
THAT CAME OUT SHOWING A VIDEO OF
A MONOLOGUE FROM HER SHOW BACK
IN 2020 AND A CONSERVATIVE
ONLINE NEWS OUTLET, WHERE SHE
SAID THAT DEMOCRATS WANTED TO
QUOTE TOPPLE THE US BECAUSE THEY
LOST THE CIVIL WAR. THAT IS
SOMETHING HISTORIANS AND FACT
CHECKERS HAVE PUSHED BACK
AGAINST OUR IN RESPONSE TO HER
NAME BEING BROUGHT TODAY BY THE
FORMER PRESIDENT. TUTOR DIXON
SENT US THIS SAYING IN PART,
GRETCHEN WIMMER IS PANICKING
BECAUSE SHE’S BEEN EXPOSED AS A
FAILED GOVERNOR AND IS
COMPLETELY UNABLE TO DEFEND HER
RECORD. NOT EVEN THIS LAST
MINUTE FLYING FROM OBAMA CAN
ERASE ALL THE LIES AND BROKEN
PROMISES AND SANTA WILL HAVE
THAT COMPLETE STATEMENT FOR YOU
RIGHT NOW. CLICKONDETROIT.COM IN
DETROIT. GRANT HERMES LOCAL 4.

PREVIEW OF THE BIG GAME. HEY,

GREEN A LOT OF BLUE HERE IN ANN

ONLY HOLDS AROUND 107,000 PEOPLE
. THERE ARE MANY MORE PEOPLE ON
CAMPUS TODAY. GETTING READY FOR
THIS GAME, ONE THAT REALLY
DIVIDES HOUSEHOLDS ACROSS THE
STATE OF MICHIGAN ALL YEAR LONG
AS THESE TWO TEAMS NOW COME
TOGETHER NOW, THE WOLVERINES IN
THE SPARTANS. THEY’VE EACH BEEN
GOING IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS
THIS SEASON. OF COURSE, MICHIGAN
IS UNDEFEATED AT 70 COMING INTO
THIS GAME, WHILE MICHIGAN STATE
IS TRYING TO STAY PERFECT
AGAINST MICHIGAN SINCE MEL
TUCKER GOT TO CAMPUS NOW, THIS
RIGHT RIVALRY IS AN OLD ONE. BUT
IT’S ONE THAT’S ALSO ROOTED IN
RESPECT. HERE’S MORE FROM BOTH
HEAD COACHES. OLD CLICHE. I MEAN
THROUGHOUT THE RECORDS IS. IS
VERY TRUE. UH, IT DOESN’T
MATTER. I MEAN, BOTH SIDES. UH
BUT WHAT SIZE JUST WANTED WANTED
THAT MUCH. I BELIEVE THAT
THERE’S A RESPECT FACTOR WHEN
AND THE BEST RIVALRIES. THERE
WAS A RESPECT FACTOR, EVEN
THOUGH THERE IS A ELEMENT OF
JUST LIKE IN HATRED. WE’LL KICK
OFF ISN’T COMING UP UNTIL 7 30
HERE IN ANN ARBOR, BUT YOU CAN
BEST BELIEVE THAT THERE’S A LOT
OF ANTICIPATION BUILDING AS
THESE TWO RIVALS MEET UP. WE’LL
HAVE A MUCH MORE COMING UP A
LITTLE BIT LATER IN SPORTS.
