A Lansing State Journal article reports on the battle for the Detroit area and, more than anything, its suburbs.
Of McCain's 14 current offices in the state, 7 are located in or near the Detroit metro area. McCain is fighting specifically for Macomb County which contains part of the Detroit area, although the city proper is not in Macomb. The campaign has plans of opening more offices within the week, planning on 30 total.
The Obama campaign, on the other hand, is fighting for votes in every part of the state. Obama has 34 campaign offices in the state, all but one in the southern half of the Lower Peninsula. The campaign has plans of opening 5 more offices soon.
The Obama campaign is targeting young voters and working the Michigan streets, while the McCain campaign is focusing on male, older, wealthier voters. The campaigns have broken the state down to extremely local battleground locations.
