The lead for the Dems is larger than this.

A Democrat will most likely hold the seat.

Democratic members.
Dingell(MI-12),Conyers(MI-13),and Levin(MI-9) are in their 80s.
Kildee(MI-5) in his first term.
Peters(MI-14) is ideal candidate based on process of elimination.
He was elected and re-elected in 2008 and 2010 in a swing district before 2012 redistricting forced him to run in a minority majority district. Peters-D is the front runner in the Democratic Primary and the general election-Detriot-Oakland.
Republican member
Rogers(MI-8)- represents a swing district unlike Camp(MI-4),Upton(MI-6),and Miller(MI-10). is less conservative than Benishek(MI-1),Huzienga(MI-2),Amash(MI-3),Walberg(MI-7),and Bentivillo(MI-11). Republicans will have a primary between Rogers and Amash. Rogers wins the GOP primary if he runs.
