Brainwrap has done a fabulous job of providing the background on Lance Enderle's write in campaign for the Democratic primary in MI-08, so I'll just give you the bullets:
- Questionable Dem challenger dropped out too late to be taken off the ballot.
- Arrogant incumbent Mike Rogers faced no opposition
- Lance Enderle -- a guy with a finely-tuned bullshit detector and an serious work ethic -- decides to run as a write-in.
- Mainstream media (and a few Dems) decide to ignore him.
So here we are, three days before the primary. Lance needs 2,000 votes AND he has to get more votes than the previous Dem candidate, who is still on the ballot.
If I were writing a film script, now would be the time for The Hero to come out and make an impassioned speech a la Jimmy Stewart in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.
Impassioned speeches are great, and Lance can certainly get a crowd going. Right now, though, he needs some funds and some noise! Lance is taking ZERO PAC money, so please send him a few bucks.
You can share his Facebook page with your friends, and visit his website to learn about the right way to write him in.
MI-08 voters have watched Mr. Rogers destroy our Neighborhood over the past decade. Too busy raising $$ for GOP incumbents and spouting off to every open mic he can find, Mr. Rogers hasn't bothered to do a damn thing to help people in a state that has lost over 860,000 jobs in ten years.
Do the write thing: write in Lance Enderle on the Democratic primary ballot on Tuesday, August 3rd.
