Did you see how close the 1st district is? http://miboecfr.nictusa.com/election/results/10PRI/06001000.html I guess one vote does count.

Yow.
Pretty decisive win for Walberg here in the 7th.
Walberg - 41,941
Rooney - 23,605
There’s a lesson in the Walberg story for the GOP going back to his 06 win over RINO Schwarz.
Any word on the turnout numbers? Were they increased over 2008? How did GOP turnout compare with DEM turnout in MI? If you read or hear anything about turnout, let me know.
We need to see signs that the GOP voters are stoked and taking interest in the primaries. If they are, that enthusiasm is likely to continue over the next 3 months and may even get more pronounced.
Having an excellent GOP turnout will be KEY to victory in Nov. Polls are indicating that Indies are leaning GOP this time around, but they may be disgusted with politics as they’ve realized they were sold a bill of goods with Obama. So they can’t be counted on.
Polls are also indicating that DEM energy is down. The CBC vs. Obama fracas that’s brewing won’t help to energize black voters in metropolitan areas for state races. This could help GOP candidates like Toomey in PA because if Phila. and Pitts. don’t show up to vote, DEM’s will lose.
