MI-08: Good news, for a change!

by: kelster

Tue Jul 13, 2010 at 09:14:16 AM EDT


Winston Churchill once said, "If you're going through hell, keep going."

Well, progressives in MI-08 have taken Churchill's advice to heart and we can see some light at the end of the tunnel.

That light is named Lance Enderle and he's stepped up to run as a write-in for the August 3rd Democratic primary. 

Long story short, the original candidate decided to drop out of the race after the deadline to remove his name from the August primary ballot. So with a non-candidate on the Dems ballot, incumbent party hack and ginormous fundraiser

five-term incumbent Mike Rogers would have no opposition in November. Aside from the basic unfairness of it all, this would also free Rogers up to spend his $1 million-plus campaign war chest on closely contested races in MI-07 and MI-09.

Enter Lance Enderle, a straight-shooting teacher who believes that money is pushing ordinary people out of political discourse.

Lance made the decision to run as a write-in; this is always a tough road but it's made even tougher by the fact that the non-candidate is still on the ballot. Lance has to get at least 2,000 write-in votes AND he has to get more votes than the non-candidate. His website has a sample ballot that explains how this all works.

Lance also has a DFA page -- out of 100 DFA All-Star candidates, he's at #40 right now. If he can make it to 10th place or better, he'll move on to the next level.

Let's go for the Good Government Hat Trick: write in Lance on the August primary ballot, make Michigan election history, and get Mike Rogers out of Washington.
