What does Rick Snyder's victory in governor's race mean?

from Talking Michigan Politics · host The Grand Rapids Press

On this week's Talking Michigan Politics podcast, Press editors Jeff Cranson and Ed Golder and GVSU's Matt McLogan analyze Tuesday night's primary election results. 1. Governor's race. What's it all mean? Did voters send a clear message with support for Rick Snyder or was it just good strategy dividing up the GOP base between Hoekstra and Cox? Snyder stunned observers by carrying most of the state outside the counties (see map) in Pete Hoekstra's Congressional district and a few scattered in other places. 2. The Congressional races. How did Bill Huizenga pull it off in the Lakeshore's sprawling 2nd district after being out-raised and out-spent? What kind of money and outside groups will be involved in the fall race between Justin Amash and Patrick Miles Jr.? 3. Local Senate and state House races. Results in the Grand Rapids-based 29th District set up a good general election battle between Republican Dave Hildenbrand and Democrat David LaGrand. Also, analysis of the 72nd, 75th and 86th state House races.
