Oh please.  Michigan going Democratic is hardly a sign of a good night for the Democrats.  It is a tough state for the GOP.  Think about it this way--Snyder signed right-to-work in the unionyist of union states and he's still within the margin of error. Amazing.

Michigan doesn't vote for Governor and Lt. Governor separately.

Nothing in the crosstabs jumps out here (41% Democrat, 35% Republican, 23% Independent; 80% white/13% black; 41% of the electorate from Southeastern Michigan). The sample voted for Obama 48-42. The decimals are a red flag.

You don't know what you're talking about. RTW might be a critical issue here, but it's far from the only issue.

It's not like we haven't had Republican governors in the past (hint: we have, and Engler was elected three consecutive times). The GOP has a super majority in the state legislature as we speak.

Just like if the GOP picks up seats in red states like MT, SD, WV, AR, AK, NC, and LA it's still not a GOP wave.

Things not looking good for Snyder RTW  biting him back in the ass.

In a midterm, an incumbent Republican losing is not exactly commonplace in Michigan.

Well, it certainly shows it won't be 2010 redux.
