Mark Schauer’s campaign for his MI-07 Congressional seat has their final ad of the 2010 election season out and it’s a good one. He hits Walberg hard for his party’s outsourcing stance and uses Walberg’s own words to make the point. Mark Schauer: Things are tough right now in Michigan, and there are no easy solutions. But one thing I […]

Mark Ouimet is running for the state House of Representatives in the 52nd District, facing Democrat Christine Green. I have written before about accusations regarding Mark Ouimet’s financial misconduct with regards to tens of thousands of dollars of reimbursements for travel and per diems during his time as Washtenaw County. I have also written about the near slanderous attacks on […]

Yesterday morning on MSNBC, Matt Lauer and Chuck Todd had this exchange regarding the so-called “generic poll” that asks respondents about their party choices. LAUER: …43 percent say they prefer Democrats, 50 percent say they want Republicans. When–did those questions accurately predict an outcome when people actually go into a voting booth and they’re faced not with a generic question… […]

The Sierra Club and the BlueGreen Alliance are teaming up to send 160,000 of campaign literature to voters in Michigan’s 7th Congressional District urging them to support Congressman Mark Schauer over his opponent Tim Walberg in the upcoming midterm election. According to their press release, there are four pieces being sent, each focusing “on Walberg’s reliance on foreign oil that […]

During the first and only gubernatorial debate of the 2010 season, Rick Snyder made a little-noticed gaffe that proves that he is either ridiculously ill-informed about infrastructure projects in his own backyard (almost literally) or that he’s a liar will to spout lies to promote his agenda (the agenda of getting himself elected governor of Michigan.) It was little-noticed by […]

Illinois GOP Senate candidate Mark Kirk isn’t the only Republican setting out to intimidate “vulnerable” voting precincts. Not by a long shot. The Michigan Republican Party is training as many as 3,000 people to work as poll watchers, targeting mostly the southeastern part of the state: Michigan Republicans are recruiting and training up to 3,000 people to work as poll […]

Joe Sestak has one of the best political ads out there right now. Watch it and see if you don’t agree. It involves dog poo. I’m just sayin’…

I am Christine O’Donnell. It’s been a busy week being you. Goodness, I never realized there were so MANY of you to be! Sometimes I wish I could just wave my magic wand and… Oh, wait. Nevermind. Before my big debatey thing with Chris (“girly pants“) Coons last week, I reached into my back pocket and realized there was this […]

Tim Walberg should have stayed home from his meet-and-great at an Adrian coffee shop this week. All it did was to reveal just how much of a Pander Monkey he is. When he was in Congress, he missed a vote on the rescue of America’s auto industry due to surgery. At the time he said he would have “reluctantly” voted […]

This has to be a joke. Michigan Assistant Attorney General Andrew Shirvell is asking a Washtenaw County judge to withdraw from hearing a request for a personal protection order against him because of the judge’s ties to state representative and former gubernatorial candidate Alma Wheeler Smith. In an Oct. 6 court filing, Shirvell requests that Judge Nancy Francis recuse herself […]

As I blogged about last month, Tim Walberg (the Original Tea Partier™) has indicated in the past that he just wasn’t sure the president was a USA citizen. He then backtracked saying he was sure he was. And then, last night, he doubled back and suggested that he still isn’t sure because President Obama “hasn’t resolved it”. At a meet-and-greet […]
