Debbie Stabenow's New Ad

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

I decided Strong +--debated b/t that and Weak.  I liked that she had 3 different issues.  She didn't focus in on one specifically, but that's OK @ this point.  She gave examples of laws she's voted on, so that makes Bouchard's rebuttal harder.  The problem is that he will have the 1st rebuttal (if he chooses--but he really shouldnt--dont' want your 1st ad to be attack).  So overall--strong and simple--with hard facts=Strong +.

It is a bit too brief and non specific to me, and seems to be political boilerplate. I doubt it will affect the mix. So it is status quo ante, with the Dem slightly favored in Michigan . It would be odd if the one seat the GOP takes from the Dems is Michigan, but it is possible. Slightly more likely is that the GOP strikes out, and gets no Dem seats, but with NJ MI, and WA in play (Minn and Maryland seem like  a GOP wash out), the GOP may beat the slight odds against knocking off one Dem.  Meanwhile, Allen has managed to make his seat in play again. One thing I predict - Allen will NOT be the next president.

No, I'm pretty confident Stabenow will win (although the 4 pt. lead in 02 surprised me--I thought it'd be a lot bigger).  Currently I have NJ and WA going D.

Eh.

Its an okay/good ad. She acknowledges that the economy in MI isn't doing very well.

I hate that music, but a lot of campaigns use crap like it.

Why is Granholm in worse shape than Stabenow if the economy is the main issue?
