Peters (D) 45
Land (R) 39

In a poll showing Snyder down two, I thought Land would be down by more than six.  With 16% still undecided, this is definitely a race that the GOP can still win.

No. Just no.

He was always gonna win by 6-8 IMO.

No. Just no.

This is definitely still a potential for republicans. It was one of the most competitive races earlier in the year, and while Peters has a definite advantage now, he's failed to really pull away with this race. I definitely see this race flipping before NH or MN.

Terry Lynn Land, much like communism, is great on paper. She's a former statewide official and is married to Mr. Moneybags. But she has acquitted herself terribly on the campaign trail, and has basically blown what might have otherwise been winnable for her. Snyder's quickly-sinking fortunes certainly don't help her either, especially since even at the peak of her good polling she was running several points behind Snyder.

Which is a moot point since neither will flip. The fact is TLL is a terrible candidate with absurd policy positions (or more like a lack thereof) in a blue state like Michigan. *cue the blue avatars to call Michigan a swing state*

Even Tim Phillips (the AFP leader) said that MI is an "uphill climb" at their closed-door fundraiser last month. 'Tells you all you need to know.

It was competitive, until the race actually got underway. TLL has refused to take any meaningful policy positions, and her public appearances have been a disaster (see: Mackinac). The more people see Gary Peters, the more comfortable they feel with sending a Democrat back to Washington. The more they see Terri, the more they realize she isn't ready for prime time.

Even though his lead isn't huge and hasn't really grown in a couple of months, it's stubborn and won't go away. Peters is killing the clock by running the ball--Terri is hoping Peters fumbles the ball.
