One more thing, Dan. Shugars is having a little trouble getting the word out. I teach an intro computer logic class at Southwestern Michigan College. Class meets once a week. Last week I read in the college newspaper that Shugars was at the Niles campus on Feb. 17. I hadn't heard word one about it!!! No posters, no flyers, no word of mouth, nothing. On the bright side, however, I suppose it's good that the visit at least made the student newspaper.

Anyway, I e-mailed Shugars' campaign HQ, told them I'd be happy to spread the word as much as possible in Berrien Co. I got a nice e-mail back ("Thanks for your kind words and support," etc. etc.) Nothing since then, though.

I really think that Shugars has a chance to take this. The area is still largely conservative. In fact, we used to elect conservative reps. If he gets aggressive, he can win. Folks are waiting to hear someone state their beliefs in clear, unapologetic language.

I heard he was at CPAC. I haven't heard anything since.

He NEEDS to make inroads into Berrien too, since that;s Upton's home.

He's got Kalamazoo County and Portage as a base. If he blunts Berrien for Upton, he wins.
