| Remember that Facebook flame war that MIRS covered? Yeah, it was about the Democratic candidate in the 8th. The guy who was originally going to run bailed when he found out that it was going to be hard work with next to no chance of actually turning out in his favor. His depature left a giant void, and depending on which version of events you believe, he either refuses to let his name get removed from the ballot or dropped out too late to do it. Either way, he's still on the ballot and will represent the Democratic Party come November unless he is defeated in the primary by ... ta-da ... a write-in candidate. Such a candidate does exist in Lance Enderle. His Web site is here. To our friends in the 8th District, provided that you don't feel especiallty motivated to get out and vote for Rick Michigan, help nominate a real person for the ballot by writing in his name. |
