How exactly is the Oakland County Executive outpolling a Congressman and two statewide elected officials in the primary? I had to look him up, I had no idea who he was.

These numbers are anti-Cherry, not pro-GOP.

They are really just name recognition. Cherry is certainly not a well known statewide figure at this point.

Looks like neither side wants to vote for their nominee...

Thats the point there is no nominee in either party. There will be primaries on both sides. Its typical for a parties candidates to score lower in the General polls if there are two heavyweights in the primary. Plus being its a Year and half away there are a lot who haven't the slightest idea and are more concerned with whether they will be the next one layed off from Ford or GM.

Are people from your state sadomasochists? 

Yes, we elected Engler 3 times.

Though the fact that he faced joke opponents the last two times made that fairly inevitable.

It's also worth remembering that Democrats tend to underpoll in early polls in Michigan in pretty much every race (or at least have the last several cycles). The Dem vote won't wake up until August or September 2010.
