The resident (democrat) fossil of the US House is in big trouble, something unfathomable in a city like Detroit where Dingell's district resides

Dick Morris believes Rob Steele - AND OTHERS - can win:
My how time flies. John Dingell has been in Congress for 55 years! The all time record for the House. And Dad was in the seat for 23 before that!! Now the dynasty could end and voters could evict the 83 year-old Dingell who, more than any other Congressman, wrote the health care bill.Dr. Rob Steele, a heart doctor, is opposing him and is only seven points behind! But nobody believes Dingell could lose. The truth is that Steele can win. Help him out. Rob Steele for Congress.

JOHN DINGELL: "I goofed."
MICHIGAN VOTERS: "Bye, bye."
IT'S TIME TO RETIRE JOHN DINGELL, SEND HIM HOME FOR A NICE LONG REST.
The Dingell family has held the Congressional seat in southeastern Michigan for nearly eight decades. Rep. John Dingell, now the longest-serving member of Congress, inherited the seat in 1955 when his father died after 23 years in office. The seat has been a family preserve since the dawn of the New Deal.
That's appropriate given that Mr. Dingell has been a cheerleader for big-spending programs and universal health care throughout his career. But even in a district that includes the liberal bastion of Ann Arbor, home to the University of Michigan, this may not be the best year for an 84-year-old incumbent to be running on a pro-Big Government record.
Mr. Dingell's Republican opponent is Ann Arbor cardiologist Rob Steele, who says he decided to run after Mr. Dingell helped ram through "insane spending" programs that passed with many House members not even reading the bills. A poll commissioned by Mr. Steele shows Mr. Dingell potentially vulnerable. A more recent poll by the Detroit News shows Mr. Dingell with a healthy lead, but many voters remain undecided.
LET'S HELP THEM DECIDE.
IT'S NOT THE DINGELL SEAT, IT BELONGS TO THE PEOPLE OF MICHIGAN.
REMEMBER IN NOVEMBER. DON'T FORGET OCTOBER.

:) Thank you very much, Mr Lakeshark! This makes me smile.
Ok, my initial gleeful reaction has waned. I really want to be glad about this guy, but...every doctor I know who gets elected is simply a RINO. (Schwartz and DeWeese in particular, Dr. George less so)
OTOH, Dr Steele's winning this would be rather nice. Ok, I'm smiling again...
Kwami the X Mayor of Detroit . . IN JAIL
Monica Conyers wife of John Conyers a Detroit rep . . IN JAIL

OH, THE TIMES THEY ARE A CHANGING. (Sing it Bob)
Dingell is a consistant pro-gun demo...usually gets NRA backing. Dearborn is heavy arab area..Largest arab community in the US.
I'll try to remind you if Dingell loses....
:-)
Uh, does that mean you're taking the bet?
I'll be glad to remind you, if Dingell wins....
/grin
I suspect this means that he’s gonna lose, and by a lot..look, Michigan is in terrible shape, and Granholm has been awful...the Dem candidate for governor is getting wiped out..so an awful lot of Dems will stay home..and with a strong GOP candidate atop the ticket, many tend to stay with the party down ballot
If you would like to be added or dropped from the Michigan ping list, please freepmail me.
Amen to that!
Now he is running the scaremongering ads about “steele wants to gamble with social security.” He even has the old geezers stating crap like “he thinks social security is monopoly money.”
Lying thief.
