There are too many unionized dopes in this state who following the union line. No incumbent Rat senator in Michigan is going to be defeated unless he/she is caught with a life man or a dead woman on the courthouse steps.
Michigan Republicans should forget Stabenow and focus like a laser on dumping Granholm.
Lincoln Chafee, Debbie Stabenow and Patrick Leahy, issued strong statements calling for an immediate ceasefire. Senators Dick Durbin and John E. Sununu sponsored a resolution urging the administration to grant "temporary protected status" to Lebanese citizens in the US and the Senate passed, by unanimous consent, a new resolution on Lebanon, correcting its previous one-sided effort.
This new resolution was sponsored by Senator Chris Dodd and co-sponsored by Senators Sununu, Chafee, Stabenow, Carl Levin, Ted Kennedy and Russ Feingold.

"Michigan Republicans should forget Stabenow and focus like a laser on dumping Granholm."
Michigan is very red in most of the state (like California), and much of the blue is composed of Reagan dems. Outside of the union - NAACP - university coalition there is not much support for Stabenow.
Granholm ran as a moderate, and generally she still is. Unfortunately she's not done much with the (admittedly awful) hand she's been dealt. If she finds her charisma again it won't be a close fight. Then again, she lost the charisma 3 years ago....
Oh we are
There are too many unionized dopes in this state who following the union line.
The Union has lost a lot of clout with its membership and power
I don't believe it can deliver like it has in the past.
Even the media as there has even been a recent rash of articles on the Union lately
Exposing things like the Union partying in Vegas at their last convention while its membership is laid off and worrying about having a pension.
And the Union has not reduced dues either although the membership looses benefits
The membership is not happy
