It's pretty incredible how Whitmer has totally broken out. Wasn't Schuette getting triaged too?
Yeah, the RGA has basically already given up on Schuette.
The RGA seems to be the only one running ads for Schuette, more specifically it’s only one ad comparing Whitmer to Granholm and saying if we elect Whitmer that we’ll be back to 15% unemployment.
The state GOP has pretty much given up on the Governor and SoS races and are instead putting their money into the AG race. Dana Nessel is a fire-breathing progressive lesbian who will probably churn out 5 lawsuits against the Trump administration every day if she was elected AG and that’s their worst nightmare.
I'm happy for Michigan. However, is this enough to flip the State Senate? Redistricting is gonna be a huge deal in 2 years.
If Proposal 2 passes, the redistricting will be done by an independent panel going forward. Even if the districts are drawn impartially in 2020, I still think the Dems win the House and the Senate. Michigan is shaping up to be the hardest-hit State by the Blue Wave of 2018.
