The editor of the paper where I live - the Pittsburgh Post Gazette - is a man named David Schribman. The paper leans left, and Mr. Schribman is a respected journalist.
He wrote this piece in the PG the other day - it is worth reading.

I did some research and I am concerned. Obama should be up by 10 points easy - but it appears the lead is shrinking. I welcome your thoughts on this - I had not even remotely considered Michigan as being competitive - but I think that we need to take our blinders off and maybe acknowledge that we may have a huge problem there.
Here are some recent polls - not great in my opinion, very troubling - particularly the top 2. And please no one will say "Well I live in Michigan and there is no way that Romney will win this state". Can we be objective?
