The Cook PVI for Michigan’s 11th district is rated EVEN. Is the GOP just going to roll over and cede this seat or do they have an alternative ready to go?
Its a mess.

There’s open war between the GOPe and the tea parties.
Pre-redistricting, the MI-11 had an even PVI, but it was made several points more Republican for 2010.
The GOP primary in MI-11 will only have one candidate on the ballot: a pro-abortion Ron Paul enthusiast named Kerry Bentivolio, who has raised very little money and has no record to back up his economic conservative issue positions. Fortunately, conservative state senator Nancy Cassis is running as a write-in in the GOP primary and, if she wins the nomination, easily will hold the seat in November against the well financed Democrat. http://nancycassis.com/
Every Republican in MI-11 should learn to spell her name: NANCY CASSIS, and should write her in on primary day, so that a pro-life conservative with a record to back up her words can get elected.
