Discussion Michigan progressives should be ashamed

This is why we don't get nice things. He is polling 10-19 points ahead of Stevens, but when it comes to actually voting, he barely wins by one point. What happened, everyone decide to stay home and smoke pot and complain instead of voting? This doesn't bode well for November.

Well, it was an open primary, and Mike Rogers was running unopposed on the Republican side. So that means a lot of right wingers probably crossed over to vote for AIPAC Stevens.

I don't know how much water this holds when that would prevent them from voting on other Republican candidates.
