I think I just saw an ad against Peters, pointed out his failings, and basically just made him a laughingstock.

Peters is a laughing stock. The guy’s a doofus. I think Democrats would have rather had someone else jump in, but their bench in Michigan isn’t as strong as it once was.
Peters is following Braley’s lead just a stonesthrow away in Iowa, hoping his tactics used to get his congressional House seat will work statewide in a senate race. But Peters isn’t Braley. He’s a buffoon who runs the standard Democrat play with the low info voters in his district. He eeked out a victory in 2010 over Rocky Raczkowski 50% to 47%, with a Libertarian spoiler candidate in the mix. So they redistricted him to a much safer overwhelmingly Democrat district for 2012. The guy just plays the victimhood card, typical ‘dirty air, dirty water’ schtick. He’s beatable.
