The reason I was confused is because the article contradicted itself with this:
But Walberg's victory could be bad news in the long run for the GOP.
James Agee, co-director of the Michigan Policy Leadership Program at Michigan State University, doesn't buy that Walberg can bridge the party divide as Schwarz did -- which could make some moderates flee to the Democrats.
He's probably nothing more than a gloom and doom dem from the liberal bastion of MooU. Nothing more than wishful thinking.
Wahlberg's win will not be bad news for the GOP, locally or nationally. The right guy won the primary, and he'll win again in November. The 7th is blood red.
