The Grand Rapids Press confirms Cherry is stepping out of the Governor’s race.
Hopefully, Pete Hoekstra is next.
We have not endorsed any candidate in this race, and are not affiliated with the Republican or Democratic parties — if anything, the editors of this site lean Libertarian — however we are committed to the belief that Michigan can, and must, do better than Pete Hoekstra.
If the Hoekstra campaign offers you a lot of money for the domain, DON”T TAKE IT! So a “whole lot of people” are probably upset today, their money down the crapper. Who’s going to step up?
Instead of doing denial PR Flak, the Congressman should question his press secretary and consultant on what to really do. (All contributors should take a step back, because these people are all paid out of donations). You would have been better off to say thank you for registering your name and at the same time go register the .net version of your name (Which is also available as of January 5, 2010 as of 12:58 EST, I just looked) or state that the name of your campaign is called hoekstraforgovernor.com). Instead of engaging in a battle with no relevant good to the improvement of the people of Michigan, you should call a meeting of your internet marketing team (which by now, we all know is integral to any campaign) and ask, will this help me get votes or inform people? If you want voters that use computers, mobile devices or anything relevant to the future, it should be part of the overall strategy). Congressman, you are fast becoming obsolete in your rhetoric, your timing, good judgement and ability to lead. If you can’t handle the simple items, managing the state of Michigan in an evolutionary time is beyond your scope. You appear at this stage, to not have the relevant skillset and a team to fix bigger problems..
I am originally from MI and darn glad to see this!
Hmmm, who do the Dems have in the hopper to step in? I remember a couple of names, but they stepped back after Cherry announced.
To whomever started this. I lived in west Michigan for the first 29 years of my life. We know Pete Hoekstra. He is a congenital liar. I wonder if he is still looking for wmd with former Sen. Pete Santorim. This should be about anybody but Pete. Your right. A lot of us just want good government and small government. We want effecient government local, state and federal. I love your blog and hope you keep it up. Remember George Bush got elected president too!
