If you wanted to list some places in the nation that are very deep blue, places that epitomize the Democratic Party and redistributionist, big labor policies, you would find Detroit on the short list. Detroit is what it is today because of the Democratic Party. That isn't a compliment.
When you are in an election which portends to be a huge defeat for you, you tend to contract and go for the warm fuzzies of the friendly crowd. When all is collapsing, you prop up the least threatened of your minions and orchestrate the sound-bites and film clips to show adoring crowds supporting you. That's why the President is rushing hither and yon from Philadelphia to Chicago to Berkeley but not to Dallas and Helena and Omaha.
So here we've got the real star-power of the Dems making the scene in the core constituency and apparently the home town crowd has begun to see the man behind the curtain:
Two-Thirds of High School Auditorium Empty
Apparently when he tells them that the reports they are reading are false, that the media are lying to them and that conditions are really improving under Democratic leadership, they look around them and see the reality of their situation.
When you can't draw the crowd for the home games your team is really weak.

You may not like them, but I bet Bill and Hillary are grinding there teeth at night thinking they were beat in '08 by Chicagoland nuckle-draggers and academic socialist boobs.
Let's hope she turns on the Al Bamster in '12. She and Bill probably think Al Bamster has it coming to him, and (perhaps in a different way than Bill and Hil are thinking, but anyway) he does!
