The largest lead in a few months is blowing it? Am I the only Snyder supporter here

Because the lead is large enough that a "real" conservative would still be leading.

Fiscally, he is a "real" conservative, and instead of being a former congressman, or attorney general, he is a successful businessman which certainly gives him a little bit more credibility when talking about solutions for Michigan's economy. Considering Michigan's current situation, I don't think voters will care much that his social views are more moderate that the others.

I haven't been following the race all that closely, but wasn't Bouchard the "real" conservative on fiscal issues?

Snyder is a 'moderate'?

Georges Marchais looks like he could be Richard Nixon's even softer brother.

Snyder is a 'moderate'?

He's hinted that he's somewhat almost kind of vaguely maybe not very anti-abortion at all, so of course!

In terms of social beliefs, he's almost ignorably more moderate than the rest of the candidates were. Other than that, he's just as much a conservative as all the others.

[Eraserhead]

I pretty much wrote this one off even before Snyder won the nomination.

Being more socially moderate in the current GOP isn't hard given that 99% of candidates are staunchly socially conservative.
