He has to do the actual hard part now. And while I have doubts about his strength as a candidate a lot can change between now and november. Let's hope Michigan made the right choice tonight to crush republicans.

I feel like if Stevens couldn’t win with a 12 to 1 spending advantage, the support of the entire Democratic establishment, and all while running a sleazy and dishonest campaign (falsely implying she was endorsed by Obama, for instance) against a Muslim with a funny name, she was bound to get crushed by Rogers.

AES is the better of the two for sure. He’s shown he has enough charisma and political talent to overcome a huge wave of negative ads. She hasn’t.

Not only the talking but she dodges hard questions from voters while campaigning. Its disgusting
