To be honest, I thought that Levin would be leading by a larger margin. Not that I expect him to lose, but he ought to be farther ahead of his little-known opponent than he is. Perhaps Hoogendyk’s very Dutch name is helping him in the western part of the state.

When the Obamamessiah starts to tank later this fall, the down-ticket blood for the Dems is going to be incredible.

No, The western part of the state just votes for, and knows, more Republicans.

His name will likely cost him 10 points in Nov. The MRP desperately needs to field some candidates with American sounding names. Dick Posthumus was a good candidate for Gov, but he was up against the novelty of Granholm. The fact that his name means “After Death” didn't help.

Next we run Dick DeVos. Good candidate with a weird name and with a huge negative for running Amway.

I don't know a single person that wouldn't rather smash their thumb with a hammer than see an Amway salesman at their door! I hope he never runs again.

Mike Bishop in 2010?

You think we all wear wooden shoes over here?
