That's not a shot at the other campaigns I've seen, but Cox took it one step further. I still remember when I was at an MSU metting. Cox was still running against DeGrow. Cox, a UM grad of all things, walked in and got the support of everyone in that room - all the cliques. At other events, Cox was always there. DeGrow, never.  Eventually, he dropped out. Cox was then an underdog to Peters, who is now a congresscritter. Not many gave him a chance. He - a conservative -  won, including "moderate" Oakland County. He also won the Reagan Democrats in Macomb County. It's not easy to win both counties because of different social currents in each county.

Cox knows how to win when he isn't supposed to do so. I think the dems will be in a street fight in this campaign.
