MIRS Monday, Sept. 29, 2014

Supreme Court Justice candidate Deborah Thomas tells MIRS Monday the talk of reforming the state's Electoral College process helped spur her decision to seek the high court again. She also addresses a new Michigan Democratic Party mailer on the Supreme Court race where her name is nowhere to be seen. What happened?

Also, a panel of political consultants -- Dennis Denno of Denno Research, Jeff Timmer and Dan McMaster from Grassroots Midwest -- compares the 2014 election year to those of years past. They also talk about the enthusiasm glut of this election year and they answer the key question, "What has been the defining issue of this year's U.S. Senate race?"
