Michigan Democrats are trying to convince former Rep. Joe Schwarz to run, Dave Wasserman, U.S. House editor for the newsletter, said on Twitter on Monday evening.
He cited unnamed Michigan sources, who said the Democrats are "close" to getting Schwarz to run against Walberg.
Walberg, R-Tipton, represents the 7th Congressional District that includes Jackson County. Schwarz, of Battle Creek, lost to Walberg in the 2006 Republican primary.
Schwarz lives outside the district now that boundary lines have been redrawn. But U.S. House candidates are not required to live in a district to represent it.
I can’t imagine the mass hysteria that would ensue if Conyers lost to Anderson (who is White).
Southfield was majority black when Fracassi lost as mayor. I am surprised that Fracassi is back and surprised Sylvia Jordan (a known Republican) is there as well. Council is actually majority white in a now 70% black city.
A good friend of mine from college is a consultant and blogger. He thinks it's possible Anderson will take it. I'm not as optimistic, but he knows his stuff.
Yes.
I always like to point it out—Schwartz was endorsed by Karl Rove and the national GOP establishment every step of the way. That was the specific nail that forever doomed my associating with party politics.
I haven’t forgotten Schwarz bragging about having been endorsed by John McCain and George Bush right before he lost to Walberg. This vendetta that Schwarz carries on against Walberg has gone on longer than Schwarz held the seat.
As far as Walberg is concerned, he’s taken a few votes I’m not thrilled with but overall he is a spending cutter. I have a feeling he’ll be a more effective congressman if he can get beyond the “freshman” class.
Even the NRA endorsed his re-election, and anyone who follows the issue knows that the Schwarz is not with the 2nd Amendment.
Often support for gun rights is not necessary to secure the support of the NRA. Odd.
Kate Upton is his niece? Wow.
I’m ashamed to say I would vote for her uncle in exchange for her favors. ;p It’s not like he’s a democrat.
I don’t live in MI though so that’s irrelevant, I hope he loses to Hoogendyk, there’s a good Dutch name.
I just found the other day that actor Zach Galifianakis is a nephew NC liberal Nick Galifianakis. I thought to myself, that can’t be a common name, he’s probably related.
Unfortunalty Amash he doesn’t have a primary challenger. Filing deadline is in May so there is still time.
Carnahan may as well as run for his sister’s current job for all the chance he has of returning to the House.
Kate Upton = Sexytime love explosions.
(Thanks, Borat!)
Zach Galifianakis - several of my friends call me “Alan” his character from The Hangover flicks. And, no, I don’t look anything like him or vice versa.
