Secretary of State Terri Lynn Land will be tough to beat (incumbents are generally tough to beat unless there's a partisan landslide or they overstay their welcome).
Despite admitting to an affair in a bizarre cat fight with trial lawyer Geoffrey Fieger, Attorney General Mike Cox is still favored to win. He has a big war chest. And did I mention that he's an incumbent?
Basically, any incumbent appellate-level judge goes in as a heavy favorite.
The education posts are decided almost strictly on party affiliation.
Michigan politics. Wonderful, eh?

If it weren't for the Greens, Cox wouldn't have won.

Even if you offset the Constitution party votes, the margin was still well more than the infamous 5,280 votes by which Cox won.
Having said that, I wish that Jason Hanson of the Detroit "Lions" could have booted Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick firmly between the cheeks for his awful GOTV effort in 2002.

that Cox could have a chance at re-election. Between the melodramatic pissing contest with Fieger (which he has used our tax dollars to advance), and his admitted affair in a press conference (huh???), it's amazing that people would give him support.
