From Freep.com:
Michigan Republicans said Wednesday they had a good candidate, worked hard and devoted lots of resources to winning back a state Senate seat in Jackson and Calhoun counties that had been held for the last seven years by a Democrat.
But the victory of former Republican state Rep. Mike Nofs of Battle Creek also was part of a national negative reaction to President Barack Obama and the Democratic leadership in Congress, GOP state Chairman Ron Weiser said.
After elections in 2006 and 2008 in which voters turned against the party, Nofs said he found people responded positively this fall when he told them he was a Republican.
