    County GOP chair runs for supervisor By Kevin Shopshire DAILY PRESS & ARGUS Hamburg Township resident Cindy Pine has thrown down the gauntlet in announcing late Monday her intention to run for Hamburg Township supervisor. Pine, the chair of the Livingston County Republican Committee since November 2002, said incumbent Howard Dillman is not doing the job he was elected to do by making the position part time and hiring a deputy supervisor, and she is calling for new leadership in the township. "I'm running to be a full-time supervisor who will serve the township residents," she said. "That's in stark...

    I've seen the senate races heating up, but not nearly as much on the house seats. I'm mostly using information from DC POLITICAL REPORT and POLITICS1. STATES Alabama DISTRICT 3 - The other Mike Rogers (R) won in 02 with 50.3% over Democrat Joe Turnham(48.2%) in an open seat. So far, it looks as he is facing Democrat Bill Fuller, Ex-State Human Resources Commissioner. I haven't heard much about this race, but the first defense is hardest. Alaska SENATE - Lisa Murkowski(R) vs Ex governor Tony Knowles. This will be a tough race as Knowles is an ex-governor and Murkowski...

    Right to Life wants to stop Schwarz Abortion rights candidate vies for 7th District By Stacey Range Lansing State Journal Six Republicans are hustling to replace retiring U.S. Rep. Nick Smith, but an early endorsement by the ever-powerful Right to Life of Michigan could stop several anti-abortion candidates in their tracks. The reason: Right to Life wants to block the nomination of former state Sen. Joe Schwarz of Battle Creek, the only abortion rights GOP candidate. "We want to make sure the nomination goes to someone who supports us," said Larry Galmish, director of the Right to Life political action...
  • Why Spanish Election results are irrelevent to US War on Terror

    Journalists, political pundits and other Hysteric Left activists are desperately trying to spin some cosmic significance out of Sunday's Spanish elections. The "conventional wisdom" is that the Spanish Election results are some sort of significant defeat for President Bush and the War on Terror. As usual the "News Media's" thinking is neither conventional nor wise. What all the various activists miss is the reality of American Exceptionalism. As much as the International Political Left hates, and try's to deny, the reality is the USA operates on a completely different political level then the rest of the world. On Sunday, the...

    Accuracy In Media ^ | Paul Weyrich
    The reason for my apology was that throughout this primary season we have been hearing about the record turnout of voters participating in Democrat caucuses and primaries. I bought the lie. The truth is that, except for Iowa and New Hampshire, there has not been any sort of record turnout for the Democrats. Even in New Hampshire the vote was far less than what the Republicans had when they last had a contested primary in 2000. The Democrats this year had 219,787 votes in their primary. The GOP in 2000 had 239,523 votes. That 20,000 difference is major in a...

    Election Scouting Report Pt 2 (2002 results compared) Unfortunately, we lost another close race in 2002 in Michigan. Turnout is much lower in off year races, so it is sometimes hard to compare, but this can show where many ticket splitters are at. Dick Posthumus lost to Jenny Granholm by 127,692 votes (Bush lost by 217279). Granholm had 51.4%(same as Gore), Posthumus had 47.4%(Bush 46). The rest had about 1-2%. The UP: Posthumus 47685 – 46.66% Granholm 52857 – 51.72% Greens – 1100, Taxpayers(Michigan's name for Constitution Party) - 565 Granholm won by 5172 votes. Posthumus unperformed Bush (who won...

    MI: Widner drops 7th District congressional race Al Widner, who many Democrats hoped had a good shot at Nick Smith's 7th District congressional seat in south central Michigan, has withdrawn as a candidate, citing difficulties in fundraising. The former school superintendent had been regarded as certain to be the Democratic nominee. According to his press release: "Widner said that the demands of running a full-fledged campaign were overwhelming, and he quickly discovered he had to dedicate most waking hours to fundraising." Widner had told supporters that the 7th District had the highest Democratic vote of any Republican-held congressional seat. (Not...

The case -- actually two suits filed by white applicants against the University of Michigan -- is the highest-profile affirmative action case in a quarter-century and will determine whether racial diversity is a "compelling government interest" that can guide publicly funded schools' admissions.
