I’d be stunned if a Republican took this Senate seat. However, I don’t think it will happen. The GOP is too well known for snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

The big shift in the Michigan race is due largely to Independents. A few months ago, Land and Peters were basically tied among Independents. In the latest poll, Land has opened a massive 17-point lead with the critical voting block.

Independents or as Rush calls them ‘Low Information Voters’

Personally I think both labels are too kind.

I prefer to think of them as voters who can’t be bothered to pay attention to politics. Lazy voters would be a much more apt descriptor of Independent voters.

Because if they paid the least bit of attention to what was going on in national politics Obama would never have been elected in the first place and he certainly would not have been reelected.

If someone tells me they are an Independent I can be assured that they in reality devote no time what so ever to politics and probably have no idea of what their Senators and Representative have been doing in their name.

What really gets my knickers in a bunch is when someone gives me this attitude that ‘I vote for the man not the party’ and acts as if this is some how a noble sentiment.

If you can’t be bothered to figure out whether you are for Big Government and confiscatory taxes or smaller government and lower taxes maybe you should stay home on voting day. Because no matter the who man is when push comes to shove the man is going to come down on the side of his party 90% or more of the time.

It will take a major fight like Steele vs Dingell in which DNC Funds are depleted to keep a seat in their column. I don't think anyone running against Dingell would have the gravitas Doc had against him. I can't think of another high-profile race. On second thought, this Senate seat might be it, but their is no defender, it is an open seat. But in essense, Peter's is on defense to keep it in the D column...

If it’s nip and tuck in MI, you know the Rats are sweating bullets over AR, AK, NC, and LA.

I hate to play Joan Rivers, but can we talk?

Seriously let us say we win big in the Senate, and their Leader is Mitch McConnell? Are you kidding me? At this point he is held in about as high esteem as Trent Lott.. In terms of his Politics he is ready for the glue factory for crying out loud.

Who will step up and challenge him and beat him for the House Majority Leader position?

We can pull it off this time. Land looks like more of a fighter than Hoekstra was.
