I see John Dingell and his wife Debbie seem to be adamant on the early primary that violates DNC rules, and, curiously enough, would also probably help Hillary, the candidate Debbie (who is sort of close with General Motors) favors, I believe. (And a candidate, moreover, who hasn't attacked auto industry failure on global warming like Obama has.)
Well, who should give Michigan the chance of having a new congressperson, and congressperson's wife, in the 15th District? Suggest your own, but here are three options:
1) John Hieftje, Democratic mayor of Ann Arbor;
2) Chris Kolb, former Democratic state representative from Ann Arbor (53rd District);
3) Lynn Rivers, former Democratic congresswoman, who ran against Dingell in 2002. I know the three above are a little heavy on the western side of the district, but feel free to suggest others from Dearborn or wherever. Michigan doesn't need a rulebreaking early primary, it needs a reformed auto industry, and a serious turnover in its Democratic (and Republican) leaders. Unless you feel that Michigan Democratic leadership really is the best possible leadership available...
