Unless MI has a well-funded, and well-known R, Levin will stay in the Senate. He and his brother are institutions and tonight Sander's son Andy is looking to win a State Senate seat -even though until recently he worked in DC and didn't actually own a house here. But he's a Levin and people believe that he can pull it out.
The guy who ran against Levin last time was great, but he didn't have a cash advantage or was well-known outside Party circles. If they put up the same type of candidate, they are going to lose again. Getting the seat from Stabenow will be our best chance for a while, unless they get a GREAT CANDIDATE who has already won state-wide for the GOP.
