		<title>WE DID IT!!!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Congratulations to Rick Snyder, who has won the GOP nomination for Governor!
In choosing Rick Snyder, the voters of Michigan have made a very big, positive step!
I really like his chances against Lansing Mayor Virg Bernero, who defeated Andy Dillon on the Democratic side.

		<title>PeteHoekstra.com endorses Rick Snyder for Governor</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve poured a lot of time into this blog over the past 7+ months.
I&#8217;ve enjoyed the hundreds of hours spent reading, researching, writing, and responding to the scores of emails, comments and other inquiries.
And today, Tuesday, August 3, is Election Day.
The Republican race is truly &#8220;too close to call&#8221; between three candidates, Attorney General Mike [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pete&#8217;s last Hurrah: Put Bigots on the Front Lines</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On Sunday, August 1, in one of the final emails before the election to his supporters, Pete Hoekstra encouraged them to &#8220;Help (him) Finish Strong&#8221; and invited them to attend two &#8220;very special conference calls&#8221; they will be hosting &#8212; from Dr. James Dobson, Founder of Focus on the Family, and Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-Minnesota), [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pete and the President</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve already commented once about Pete Hoekstra&#8217;s email on Friday 7/30 encouraging his supporters to &#8220;send Obama a message&#8221; by voting for him, but I have some additional thoughts&#8230;
To refresh your memory, Hoekstra says President Obama came to Pete&#8217;s backyard to try and stop him from becoming governor.
There are two possibilities about this statement, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Desperate Cox Goes Negative</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Attorney General Mike Cox has thought of himself in the driver&#8217;s seat for the Republican gubernatorial nomination, but that lead has slipped away as upstart Rick Snyder, who began the race with virtually zero name recognition, has taken the lead in the recent EPIC-MRA poll.
So Cox is going negative. And he&#8217;s looking desperate.
Cox and his [...]]]></description>

		<title>Statistical Dead Heat Entering Final Weekend</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Rick Snyder, now leading in the most recent EPIC-MRA poll, appears to have the momentum going into the final weekend, but it&#8217;s truly too close to call with Snyder, Pete Hoekstra and Mike Cox all within the margin of error heading into the final election.
It&#8217;s all going to come down to which way those 14% [...]]]></description>

		<title>Attorney General Cox and Manoogian Mansion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have to admit, I haven&#8217;t paid a lot of attention to this &#8220;Manoogian Mansion&#8221; story, but the rumors and implications just won&#8217;t go away for Attorney General Mike Cox.
Don&#8217;t tell me there&#8217;s yet another &#8220;Family Values&#8221;, social conservative Republican involved in a sex-related scandal!
The rumor, of course, is that Cox attended a wild party [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pete Says: Send Obama a Message&#8230;Vote for Me</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Pete Hoekstra sent an email to his list today encouraging folks that by voting for him, they were &#8220;Sending Obama a Message&#8221;.
This logic is flawed and misguided on numerous levels.
First and foremost, Michigan&#8217;s sorry economic state has nothing to do with President Obama. Some Republicans are tired of the &#8220;blame it on Bush&#8221; mantra, but [...]]]></description>

The poll of 400 likely Republican voters taken July 26-27 has Snyder leading the Republican pack with 26% compared with 24% for Attorney General Mike Cox and 23% for Representative Pete Hoekstra. Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard [...]]]></description>

		<title>PAC Money Pete</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week, all the candidates had to release their campaign finance reports to the Michigan Secretary of State.
Special interests have given over $1 million dollars to four of the five Republican candidates. Rick Snyder is the lone exception. You can see a complete breakdown below.
Pete Hoekstra ran for Congress in 1992 promising he wouldn&#8217;t take [...]]]></description>
