Holy Shit. There was a ginormous goddam ass-kicking tonight as Dems keep control of the Michigan State Senate by a shocking margin in a genuine toss-up district. GOPers should be positively terrified about Nov.
Imagining European tourists going home and saying yeah I guess trains and walkable urbanism are okay, but have you had Twinkies, biscuits and gravy, and ranch dressing?
