(11,783 posts)I believe that Rick Snyder would have never been elected without the help of crossover voting by our side during the primary. Polling indicated that with the state in such a dire economic condition, that the Granholm administration was going to take some of the blame (fair or not) She was term limited, and therefore it appeared certain with polling that it was going to be a Republican win.
So much in fact, that every prominent Dem declined to even run, including Lt. Gov Cherry. The mayor of Lansing, Virg Benero stepped up and ran virtually unopposed in the primary while the Rep field was pretty big. Many Dems decided to crossover and pick the lesser of evils. Snyder had no political record to attack, so he was the benefactor of all that crossover voting. Came out of no where to win the primary and thus the general election as well.
