This was ripped from the headlines because it was less work, or so I thought, there may be some updates soon or by August 7th, people drop out of the race and whatnot.

WOW! Thanks for posting...and a BUMP for Patrick Colbeck for governor.

[be-baw]

Thanks for posting. Man, that Shri Thanedar is some kind of freak. Can’t even stand to look at the guy.

[SunkenCiv]

Sure, but it's Ann Arbor -- the town should have a sideshow hawker at every road into the city, charging everyone two bits to enter..

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks, I am in part fishing for some info on statewide / national candidates.

Thanks for the info!!

Shri Thanedar sounds like a villain in a science fiction series with too many sequels.

His idiotic and filthy TV ads show him saying “Trump called what I am an infestation …..”
End the Trump hate and don’t let it come to Michigan...
What a total loser.

Colbeck “Michigan’s most conservative candidate for governor”.
That has such a nice ring to it.

Thanks for the Colbeck boost, PGalt.

Every year when I get to go home, as I exit US-23 onto I-94 I can feel my IQ drop. Once I get past Ann Arbor it goes back up.

I used to enjoy the falafel with hummus at Jerusalem Garden. Been years since I’ve nejoyed one of those.

[SunkenCiv]

My pleasure!

[OldMissileer]

Don’t laugh, but I always have to stop at an Elias Bros. Big Boy and get a Slim Jim. Since so many have closed It’s either Mason or Cadillac. The one in Big Rapids closed sometime between Summer 2016 and 2017.

[SunkenCiv]

:^) There used to be three or four or more in the Grand Rapids area, no more. :^) The one on Alpine (this was when I was a kid) still had the park and talk option, which I think I’d have to head to Dog ‘n’ Suds to do at this point.

[SunkenCiv]

It's a one time ping, it doesn't / happen a lot. Just a nudge to all Michigan FReepers. Nice feature, btw, JR.

• Shri Thenedar: This candidate wants to be Michigan’s governor — then president (May 10)

Do you have a link to that profile story? I can't find it on the Free Press website. I want to know how the guy who "has been a United States Citizen for 30 years" thinks he can run for President.

[SunkenCiv]

I was linked in the, uh-oh, maybe I didn't put that link. I'll see if I can figure it out for ya. [rustling sound, footsteps recede in distance, door opens and closes, etc]

"Colbeck “Michigan’s most conservative candidate for governor”.

Yes he is and an out of the box solutions orientated thinker. I wish PDJT would have endorsed him, however his proximity back in the day to T. Cruz hurt him IMHO. I hope he wins.

For me It is John James and Lena Epstein ( my district ) anyone else doesn't have the chops to make it, especially w/ Lena, one of 5 co-chairs of MI for Trump? How could you not vote for her. I can see John James winning against Stabenow, not Pensler, James has got game a killer/winner instinct. Pensler is as boring as Jeb.

[Yo-Yo]

Thanks, Civ! Reading the write-up, at least he understands that the Constitution needs to be changed.

Otherwise, I'm getting sick of seeing his ads run during the local inserts of Fox News. "Donald Trump says I am an infestation." "I will keep Trump's racism out of Michigan."

A$$hole.
