Is anyone else surprised about Levin's recent vote against the nuclear option? Pryor and Manchin you'd expect, but not only is Levin from a blue state, he's also retiring and thus has nothing at stake. Is he more conservative than people seemed to think?
Michigan is not a "blue state." It's a swing state by any standard. Remember that Gore only took it by 5 points in 2000 and Kerry only took it by 3 points in 2004. Obama won solidly here in 2008 and 2012, but those were in strong Dem years nationally.
Lolno. Michigan, at best for your party, is a lean D state, and really more safe.
