MI-09: Gary Peters Live Blog

Right now at MichiganLiberal.com, Gary Peters is participating in a live chat.

Gary Peters is the Democrat running against Joe Knollenberg to represent Michigan's 9th Congressional District in Congress. For those of you not from Michigan, the 9th is in Oakland County, in the suburbs north of Detroit. It was considered solidly Republican for years, until 2006, when Knollenberg barely won against Nancy Skinner - even after outspending her 7 to 1. And, as we've all seen from Foster and Cazayoux, being a solidly Republican district doesn't mean that much anymore.

Last night, Charlie Cook upgraded the race from "Likely Republican" where it's been since the beginning of the cycle, to "Lean Republican," and last week, Peters was listed in CQ's top-ten best-funded challengers in the House. Gary is a solid progressive, a twelve-year Navy veteran, and in his race for Attorney General a few years ago, he actually won the 9th district.
