What's up with the ballot proposals?  I'm really confused as to what's going on with that.

And personally, if I were a Republican, I wouldn't give up on the Senate race.  There have been a few polls recently that suggest that it's close.

No there haven't.

edit: Oh I guess there was just a poll from right-wing Mitchell Research showing it closer. Fair enough I guess.

EPIC-MRA's latest poll has Peters' lead dropping by 3 points from their last one.

Well, you were supporting him anyway, and you don't live here, so I don't think it really made much difference other than that. Smiley

If you'd been here when Granholm was governor, I'm pretty sure your outlook would be much different.

Even though she is marching into certain defeat, I find the Pam Byrnes commercial that I saw today humorous: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBBu9apYhzY

Gary Peters is taking his statewide tour to West Michigan's breweries: http://woodtv.com/2014/09/06/senate-candidate-gary-peters-tours-mi-breweries/

The clip shows him at Mitten Brewing Company in Grand Rapids (if you ever find yourself there, try either their Country Strong IPA or Triple Crown Brown--I had a chocolate stout there a few months back, which was also pretty good).

Yeah, I'm guessing Peters will win more than the 41% of women and 59% of black voters they cite.

Gov. Milliken endorsed Snyder today. Cheesy

I would imagine that most of the other blacks and women are undecided at this point.

...i'm sorry.  Did someone slip some acid in my Coke? Or am I reading that wrong? Because I can't see a reasonable scenario where 40% of the black vote is up for grabs for Land.

Sorry Cris, but no one should ever enter a YouGov poll.

Or 60% of women.

No; Coke already has acid in it, albeit not the kind you're thinking of. Smiley

US News and World Report is also wondering where Terri Lynn Land has gone: http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2014/09/10/michigans-terri-lynn-land-is-the-invisible-senate-candidate

Detroit News ran a similar story.

So basically, she believes Koch money will do everything for her.

Lol, that's stupid. She will be crushed.

Karl Rove and AFP are still spending money here. It has gotten to the point where her ads are attack ads on Gary Peters.

If I can find the links, I'll post them.

Well, Land's only hope is that a wave drags her over the finish line. The more she campaigns, the more she seems to fall. So it's probably her best hope to just go into hiding at this point. Tongue

I found the link to the Terri Lynn Land commercial I was talking about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4bMJa8b0gk

So, yeah. She is now creating the attack ads, and not leaving it to outside groups.

By the way, John King is a moron: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDDcZ22jsnU Everybody else thinks that commercial sucks (hence why Terri Lynn Land has stopped airing it).

Terri Lynn Land is cracking the door open to debating Gary Peters: http://www.detroitnews.com/article/20140917/POLITICS01/309170026/0/politics/Land-launch-debate-talks-Peters

Sort of. We're less than two months until election day and she's requesting that a journalist from West Michigan serves as a co-moderator. My money is on this not actually happening.

If you'd been here when Granholm was governor, I'm pretty sure your outlook would be much different.

When Granholm was governor, Bush was President. The entire country was suffering from the Bush/GOP economic collapse and Granholm did her best while the economy and the auto industry went under thanks to Bush and the Republicans. All the while Snyder is making his own "In 5 years you'll be blown away" pledge.

You realize that the auto industry was hurting before Bush took office?  And Michigan started tanking in the recession of 2000/2001, which began during Clinton's last few months in office.  Granholm repeatedly supported higher taxes as governor, and even opposed repealing the GOP effort to repeal the Single Business Tax.  I think you're drinking the liberal Kool-Aid.
