The Democrats

According to the 2008 Race Tracker, two Democrats have filed to run for the seat.

Tom Spencer is one, and he has posted on the blog He seems like a very good candidate.

Edward Kriewall is the other. He has filed with the FEC, but I don't know that much about him.

The primary will be August 5, 2008, so we have plenty of time to decide who the nominee will be. But right now we have very little info on the candidates, so there is a need for some sort of forum or debate.

I hope that this will be a productive primary, and we have a lot to learn about our candidates.

Good Day

Hello,

This blog is devoted to the ousting of Rep. Thaddeus McCotter (R - Michigan) from his current seat as the Representative of the eleventh congressional district of Michigan.

The man is a rubber stamp of Bush's policies. He supports the war, is against stem cell research, and is an example of everything wrong with the Republican Party.

In 2006, an underfunded and underappreciated radio host, Tony Trupiano ran against Rep. McCotter. He lost, of course, but managed to keep Bad Thad under 55% of the vote. I have no idea whether Tony is going to run again. But with any attention from the DCCC, this is a race that can be won for the Democrats.

I will attempt to demonstrate some of the many reasons that this race should recieve as much attention as any in 2008.
