First, let me thank Ed Kriewall, and congratulate him on a good campaign. This race deserved to have several strong candidates, and we ultimately had two of them to choose from. However, it is Joseph Larkin who came through with a resounding 3-to-1 victory in Tuesday's primary. More than 28,000 Democrats voted in this contest, and 74% of them chose to send Mr. Larkin into battle against Thaddeus McCotter.
Recent McCotter news includes another rant about China, voting AGAINST a foreclosure relief bill, and crying about Democrats not giving oil executives free reign to drill anywhere and everywhere.
Thanks to Cordelia Lear and the BFM crew for keeping up with Thad's misadventures while this blogger slacks in his duties! :)

I'm guessing this election is over before we begin? I haven't see Larkin anyplace and he's getting close to no news coverage.
Has he even held a bake sale?
This guy needs to get busy if he wants any sort of shot at this thing.
I've been looking for more information about the 11th district candidate because I have heard nothing. I haven't seen a yard sign. I don't think the candidate is even trying.
But, it was great to find this site because McCotter has got to go!
Glad you guys found the site and left comments! Joe Larkin is a good candidate - really - but it is very hard to raise the kind of money it takes to put up a good fight in this district. We'll be in South Lyon on Saturday the 4th for the Pumpkin Fest parade. We were with the Obama campaign at Schoolcraft College last week.
Larkin's office is on Five Mile, west of Farmington. 734-742-0347 is the number if you want to stop by and get a lawn sign. The campaign also works out of the Obama for Change office on Ford Road in Canton.
Send me an e-mail at phikapbob -at- gmail -dot- com and I'll even bring a sign to your house!
