All I've been hearing for the last three months is how badly Democrats are going to do in 2022, because Republicans are yammering their fool heads off, opposing highly popular programs and proposals, which just shows the American people what do-nothing mavericks they are.

Is it possible the highly-paid pundits are . . . less than 100% right?

One race out of many doesn't establish a trend.

I don't say this an exercise in doomsaying, but you'd be silly to disregard aggregate data because one Democratic governor looks well-position to win reelection.

We've learned this by now. There are almost no undecided voters. It's just MAGANazis who want to play around with polls.

Also our legislature will flip from R to D now that the state is ungerrymandered.

Mark my words, as a Michigander.
