WOW, Out spent at least 3 to 1 and the race is statistically tied here in Michigan. Basically the exact same race that I wrote about in July. Only 2% separate the incumbent Rick Snyder and the challenger Mark Schauer.
A new Mitchell Research poll shows the race neck and neck, for cross promotion here is the link to the data through TPM
http://polltracker.talkingpointsmemo.com/...
Rick Snyder 48%
Mark Schauer 46%
margin of error 3.2%
Peters 51%
Land 38%
But as far as I'm concerned we are 10 points down!!!
This is exciting news for all of the volunteers, campaign workers and citizens of Michigan who have been working tirelessly to make this a race in Michigan.
But the candidate, Mark Schauer, has made the real difference. Mark has been visiting each and every county in Michigan, talking to as many voters as possible and making his case for a better Michigan.
The current governor, Rick Snyder, is doing his best to fend of criticism of his many, many sweet heart deals, no-bid contracts and ridiculous Government pay increases for the friends of Rick Snyder.
Mark Schauer will reverse all of Mr. Snyder's wrong headed policies that kow-tow to extremist constituencies, for profit charter schools and lop sided tax cuts for big businesses.
Please contribute to Mark Schauer's campaign and learn more about Mark
