RELEASE FROM THE WITTMER
CAMPAIGN. MR OBAMA WILL BE IN
METRO DETROIT ON OCTOBER 29TH TO
CAMPAIGN FOR THE GOVERNOR,
LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR AND THE REST
OF THE MICHIGAN DEMOCRATIC
TICKET. MR OBAMA’S VISIT COMES
AS THE RACE FOR GOVERNOR IS
TIGHTENING, BUT WE KNOW THAT OUR
POLITICAL ANALYST SAYS THAT MR
OBAMA’S VISIT IS A SIGN
DEMOCRATS DON’T WANT TO REPEAT
WHAT HAPPENED IN 2016 AND 2020.
I THINK THIS IS A REALLY SHREWD
POLITICAL MOVE. WHAT IT’S SAYING
IS THAT THE DEMOCRATS ARE NOT
GOING TO MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES
THEY MADE IN MICHIGAN IN 2016
WHEN THEY TOOK FOR GRANTED. TURN
OUT OF THE PARTICULARLY THE
AFRICAN AMERICAN VOTE. AND WE
KNOW DETAILS OF THE TIME AND THE
LOCATION OF MR OBAMA’S VISIT
HAVE NOT YET BEEN RELEASED. ALL
RIGHT TIME NOW FOR A CHECK OF
THE WEATHER AND A SUNNY SATURDAY

PERSONALLY, I THINK IT’S A
LITTLE TOO EARLY, BUT KEEP IN
MIND. WE ARE WELL INTO OCTOBER
AT THIS POINT, BUT NOT IT’S NOT
GOING TO ACCUMULATE. IT’S JUST
GOING TO BE A FEW FLAKES MIXED
MIXED IN WITH SOME OF THOSE
RINGS. IN SHOWERS TONIGHT,
THOUGH TOWER CAME FROM WINDSOR,
LOOKING ACROSS THE RIVER,
HOLDING ONTO A LITTLE BIT OF
