Impromptu chants,renditions of the Happy Birthday song, they're both ways a massive line outside the Lansing Center is supporting the man they want in office, the man that gives them hope.

"I hope people will turn out with their friends and neighbors, people who will support some change in our country, we need it," Obama supporter Roger Stewart.

And while there are almost too many Obama supporters outside of the Lansing Center today to count, there are also some John McCain supporters in attendance too.

"Change is only good when it's positive, and I don't believe Barack Obama would be a positive change for America," McCain supporter, Joan Fabiamo says.

That's why Fabiamo says she and her family came out to protest a man that she says people think is a messiah, and Fabiamo isn't alone in that thought.

Sarah Lenti is a volunteer from the McCain campaign who is handing out tire gages because:

"Obama recently said you can save just as much and help energy production by keeping air in your tires and using your tire gage as offshore drilling, " Lenti says.

She adds that it seems as if Obama supporters are almost drunk on the word change. She says they don't understand what the Illinois Senator is proposing.

"We've been going down the line and asking people what they are hoping to hear about energy and people have been saying...huh?" Lenti says.

This is all part of the political mudslinging that has already begun and will certainly continue according to some.

"Look the reality is Michigan is going to a belt weather state, it's a swing state, it's important for the Democrats it's important for the Republicans," Michigan's Republican party chairman, Saul Anuzis says.

That means we could be seeing a lot more crowds like the one at the Lansing Center for both sides of the political spectrum in the future.
