Two if by Rob ‘Ghey *marriage*’ Portman, and Terri ‘Elliot-Larsen expansion’ Hibma, are flitting about Detroit, tomorrow.
Sen. Rob Portman, who is vice chairman of the party’s U.S. campaign arm, says the Michigan Senate seat is still “winnable” — despite polls showing Democrat Rep. Gary Peters leading.
The Ohio Republican will be in the Detroit area on Friday for a campaign event with former Michigan Secretary of State Terri Lynn Land, who is trailing Peters, D-Bloomfield Township.

So as to draw attention to something that TLL and Co. are really hoping that we don't notice, according to The Rothenberg Political Report, Michigan's Class 2 U. S. Senate Seat is holding at "lean democrat," and has been for awhile. Also, according to the RealClearPolitics tracking average, while the race is currently listed as a "toss up," Peters has been out in front of Land since April 29th -- one week after the filing deadline.
Because the Michigan Republican Party apparently cannot pass up the chance to run a Ford-mold moderate when an actual conservative is needed.
