From Freep.com:
Prognosticators thought the chances were remote a year ago, but there’s now a real possibility that a GOP election swing Tuesday could leave Michigan Republicans controlling both chambers of the Legislature and the governor’s office.
The toughest hurdle for Republicans is the state House, where Democrats hold a 64-42 advantage with four seats currently unfilled.
In the final days before the election, Democrats have the big money edge — $1.3 million to $206,000, based on recent campaign finance reports.Democrats took a big advantage in the House in the 2008 election, when Barack Obama led Democrats on a butt-kicking in races from Congress to the Legislature to local offices.
