   Good for them; now is the time to go for full "constitutional county".   It is quite clear, the UP bears no political resemblance to
  places like Detroit, Flint or Lansing...

but the largest county in the up is a festering liberal sanctuary. actually its almost like the state. the biggest town Marquette is a liberal college town and controls the vote for the whole county. they actually brag and have road side billboards bragging there the most liberal college in michigan

  Sadly, we have one instance of the same here.  Tompkins county is a lone blue county in the south /central portion of our state.
  It is a sparsely populated county, but has 2 universities located in the only town of size in the county.

  Both Cornell and Ithaca universities are located in Ithaca.  Yes, Ithaca, where those great shotguns were manufactured for many years,
   starting in 1880.

I suggest that this is nothing for them to crow about.  If not already happening, the "liberal" label is soon to be reviled across the nation.

  ...I sure don't see that the fact that both Cornell and Ithaca Us are located in Tompkins county, uis anything to crow about.

   i was only trying to explain why a sparsely populated county is nauseatingly blue, among a sea of red counties...
