The Dems have $200,000,000.00 of formerly nicotine stained Obama money to spend this next election cycle. This will include key legislative races, the governor seat, and US Senate.  So whomever we put up has a tough job no matter what.

Snyder has enough people ticked off on our side that added to the other side's action, about guarantees a loss in the general.  That will also affect the senate race and down tickets too.

Another reason why a primary for the Guv seat is important.
