Not A Party

Ann Arbor resident Lizzie Shubin and Ypsilanti business owner Erik Nowakowski encouraged passersby on Liberty Street in downtown Ann Arbor to vote for Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul on Tuesday. Paul pulled 12.6 percent of the vote in Washtenaw County as Mitt Romney went on to win both the county and the state, followed second by Rick Santorum. Paul, who completed his medical residency at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit in 1962, has his Michigan campaign headquarters based on Main Street in downtown Ann Arbor. Shubin said a defeat in Michigan wouldn't get her down. "He definitely will be in it," she said. "We're going to keep going and keep fighting. The liberty movement doesn't stop with Ron Paul."
