No, but different people might get elected.

Older than Stuttgart? Vienna? Paris? London?

Yup, for some reason there's a mental weirdness about perceived distances. I was ~50 miles closer in Detroit than I would've been had I moved to Philadelphia.

'most people' driving to Michigan are driving to the Detroit area. It was 280 miles from my parent's house in Moon to my house near Detroit.
It's around 700 miles from Moon to Maine (Portland).

I'd make it in under four from my home in Dearborn to my parent's house in Moon.

Are you claiming that after WWII London, Vienna, Paris, and Stuttgart widened their streets or changed the map?
