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.
better get to higher ground guys, the REPUBLICAN WAVE is building!!!!
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.
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.
