OK, I don't know if everyone will agree that this is a "must-see" clip. However, considering that the campaign to unseat Mike "Drill for oil in the Great Lakes!" Rogers only actually became official 62 days before the election, I'd say that it's a pretty damned good start for Mr. Enderle.

(Note: For those of you who haven't been following the MI-08 saga and don't understand why there was no Democratic candidate until a week ago, see this timeline for the backstory.)

In any event, this campaign speech (about 10 minutes long), given to the Michigan State University student Democrats last night, should give you a taste of what Lance's campaign and style are all about.

Watch it and I think you'll begin to see why The Political Carnival compared Lance to Alan Grayson with Darth Vader's voice:

I just got off the phone with a someone I could have hung out with for hours. He owns a golden retriever he calls "Dude", he is a 6th-12th grade social studies teacher going for his masters in special ed at Michigan State, and as lay back and wickedly funny as he is, he's dead serious about representing the people of Michigan's 8th district...

After talking to him for quite awhile, I could easily draw parallels to Rep. Alan Grayson. IMHO, Enderle could very well become the new most dangerous man in Washington. Sort of an Alan Grayson with a James Earl Jonesish voice.

Anyway, give it a watch; if you like what you hear, please visit his campaign site, join his Facebook page and (most vitally, of course) pony up a few bucks for him at ActBlue:

(Oh, yeah--and Mike Rogers must be at least a little nervous about Lance, 'cus he actually sent a campaign tracker to the event!)

(I should apologize for the audio glitch at one point as well as the cameraman's thumb that shows up in the corner for the last few minutes)

You guys keep saying you want more Alan Graysons in Congress, right?

Now imagine Alan Grayson with Darth Vader's voice.

Full Disclosure: I'm being modestly paid to maintain Lance's campaign website; however, any blogging/other promotion that I do for his campaign is done strictly on my dime and my time.
