In April of 2014, political observers
believed a Republican breeze was blowing through Michigan. By August, the
breeze had calmed and it appeared it might have been heading for a switch in direction.
Tuesday, that breeze turned into a powerful gust of GOP victory.
Republican victory parties all over the state
of Michigan were cheering loudly late into the night as results came pouring
in. With the exception of the U.S. Senate race, GOP wins from the top to the
bottom capped off an election season that had observers making predictions all
over the map, however, hardly a pollster or prognosticator predicted these
results.
