For a second there, I thought "Oh hey, look, there's a toss-up state near the top!" and then I realized that's a lake.
Actualy, that's the other half of Michigan. We won it in a war with Ohio. (For real: we went down in history as the only state to try to declare war against another state outside of the actual American Civil War).

Hey, that's pretty cool. I didn't know that before.
Ahh, I meaned the blue strip above it. I'm dumb. =P
I'd have to find the exact reference, but Michigan tried to invade Canada at least once of its own volition as well.
Michigan is known for Detroit, copper/silver mines up north, the best lakes in the world, and hyperactive heavily-armed militias.
I knew about the lakes, and detroid(naturally, as a car nut). Didn't know about the rest, though. I guess it's still better than what I knew about Wisconsin, which is entirely "Don't drink Milwaukee's Best Beast" and "A bit boring, but next to a nice lake."

One other fun fact is that the old Michigan/Ohio War is still fought in small scale to this very day due to the intense sports rivalry between their respective largest state universities: the University of Michigan and the Ohio State University. It is these schools' most intense rivalry and among the most intense rivalries in the nation.

You don't instinctively think of Road America, one of the best tracks in the US? For shame!

That's in Wisconsin? News to me, I thought it was somewhere else.

It made me spit out my dinner.
I mean, I get what magic underwear is, but I don't understand the joke.

How I imagine the dems were acting backstage.
