This isn't the most PC thing to say, but I'm not sure some guy named Syed (sounds Islamic), Dr or not, will get past a guy named Bill Roberts in the primary. There's a lot of Indians in Canton and Troy, but there's also a lot of union whites there and throughout the district, especially up in Waterford and in eastern Livonia. I can easily see some white or black union guy showing up at the polls, and going "I ain't votin' fer no Muslim" and voting for this Bill Roberts guy instead.
To be fair 50% of the district voted for a guy named Barack Obama.
Taj is indeed a Muslim, his own site doesn’t mention it but he appears on a list of elected Muslims. Roberts however is a Larooshie wackjob, he thinks Obama is gonna start a war with Russia that will lead to nuclear holocaust. To win the rat primary in a walk all Taj has to do is make sure people know that. Larooshies only win when no one knows they are Larooshies.
Taj is the official candidate, I’m positive the unions will make sure their loyal voters know to vote for him. His name will be on their flyers and pamphlets.
Obviously he’s more a serious a candidate than I first thought but I doubt he’d win the general election over Bentivolio if the latter ran a competent and properly funded race.
I expect McCotter to win the nomination as a write in however.
