Michigan

Outlook: Toss Up

17 Electoral Votes (18 in 2000)
Kerry won in 2004 by 3.42%

Michigan is likely to be one of the key states come November. Nine of the state’s 15 congressmen are Republican, albeit both senators and Governor Jennifer Granholm are all Democrats. George W. Bush only lost by a 3 percent margin in 2004 and the John McCain camp will be hoping for the Great Lakes State’s 17 Electoral College votes this fall.
