This is a fairly competitive district, where Kerry got 44.8%. Lenawee Liberal posted a diary on the race a few days ago.

You have the power to change America. Yes. We. Can.

- Liberal Republicans (0+ / 0-)
  
  I am so old I remember when there was such a thing. I voted for (Republican) John Lindsay for mayor of NYC and about the same time for James Weinstein as Independent Socialist candidate for Congress and did not find the combination unreasonable.
  
  My instincts if it is 45% for Kerry in the district would be to hope the rightwinger wins. One more nutjob won't make any difference and the 'liberal republicans' (who now qualify soley by being halfway sane on a few issues) have exactly zero power and influence anyway.
  
  We have only just begun and none too soon.

  - And in a relatively balanced district... (0+ / 0-)
    
    ...it may be easier for a Democrat to defeat a real nutcase than that rarest of breeds, a somewhat reasonable Rethug.
    
    Seven score and five years ago... -7.62, -6.36
