Benishek, who has never run for office, doesnt have a campaign Web site (for now, a Facebook page that has increased from 700 to 14,000 followers will do) or staff for that matter (his wife is taking press calls while he searches for a campaign manager). But by late last night, the RNC had stepped in and set up a PayPal account for him so he could raise money online. I didnt have an online way to get any money, so they were all upset with me. But I got something up finally late last night and I dont know, its just been unbelievable, the support, Benishek said. Im not sure if its support for me or just hatred for Bart Stupak. But a lot of people saw what I stood for on Facebook, at least, and seemed to connect with that, with my bio and position statement, so I was overwhelmed by the support.
Benishek concedes he has got his work cut out for him, as hes just getting started introducing himself to the voters. The people have to vote for me, he explained. Not the people who write me and say stuff about me on the blogs in Arizona
I certainly appreciate that and I certainly appreciate the financial help, but I have to still communicate with the constituents here. Benishek said its been daunting because hes been getting a lot of advice from people, contradictory advice. So thats been a little bit of a problem. I dont know exactly how to proceed. I just have to give it my best judgment and move forward, he said.

LOL! Perfect!
I would hope that the RNC gets involved in making Stupak history this November. I assume there will be a primary and several republican challengers.
That is music to my ears!
Hookers and Booze, eh?
Bart Stupak = Kaputs brat.
Give me a second.
I have no dog is this fight, but someone one posted Dan's name on sunday night and didn't mention any others in the race.
Now over 18,000 on facebook!
everyone should email Stupak saying
“I Mailed My CHECK to Benishek”
Benedict Arnold Stupak = baby killer.
STUPAKS is KAPUTS!
Last week he was in the 100's.
Can someone link to his facebook page or at least give us the full name?
If you would like to be added or dropped from the Michigan ping list, please freepmail me.
It would be quite a coup to take this one. We'll see how ticked off those folks are.
