On Saturday, Jay Z performed in support of Obama in Michigan. Tickets were free, and all attendees were given multiple opportunities to register to vote - the event was billed as "Operation Registration." The Obama campaign will continue to push voter registration until the Monday deadline.
A study from Michigan State University's Julian Samora Research Institute (JSRI) has predicted that the the Latino voter turnout will hit 80% this election. Furthermore, this study does not take into account those new citizens or state residents who likely participated in voter registration drives close to the Monday deadline and were not included in the number of Michigan Latino registered voters. Latinos tend to vote Democratic, especially in presidential elections. More good news for the Obama campaign in Michigan.
And Sarah Palin continues to question the McCain campaign pull from Michigan, either expressing genuine disagreement with the campaign decision-makers, or just fulfilling her role as the gutsy gal who openly disagrees with her running mate sometimes.
