MI-MRG: Stabenow +16

[MT Treasurer]

Guys, leave SN2903 alone. He just wants to cheerlead and be a hack for his favorite candidate. It's not like we don't have plenty of Democrats who do the same cheerleading for candidates who are in just as dire if not worse shape than John James is (COUGH Heitkamp.)

I think O'Rourke is a better analogy here.

Who’s this height Camp person?

There's a huge difference in being behind by 6 and being behind by 16.

O'Rourke is down by 7 in the RCP average, James by 11, but on the other hand MI is easier for a Republican to win than TX is for a Democrat (and yes, I am taking the national environment into account here) and you could argue that James has been closing the gap recently. No, I don’t think either of them will win, but both have amassed a lot of hype because of their profile/background, ability to excite the base, rallies, charisma, etc., hence the comparison.
