From Eric Dondero:

Democrats tried to paint Justin Amash as a dangerous Tea Partyer who wanted to privatize Social Security and abolish Medicare. Amash is a libertarian Republican, friend of former libertarian Republican State Rep. Leon Drolet, and a longtime member of the Republican Liberty Caucus.

He won 59.7% to 37.5% over Democrat Pat Miles.

In other Michigan races, in a re-match former Congressman Tim Wahlberg who lost in the Obama Wave of 2008, regained his Kalamazoo-area seat. He beat incumbent Democrat Mark Shauer 54% to 45%. Wahlberg is a social conservatives and a hero to the pro-life movement. But he's also a strong economic libertarian and Constitutionalist.

Finally, another race of interest to libertarian Republicans, Dr. Dan Benishek won in Michigan's 1st District with 52% to 42%. Benishek is a surgeon. This was his first time running for political office. In Upper Michigan he became a folk hero of sorts for blasting fmr. Rep. Bart Stupak and leading a Tea Party revolt against ObamaCare.
