Cong Pete Hoekstra has a 90.84% lifetime rating from the American Conservative Union after 17 years in Congress. Michigan may not be a conservative state, but Cong Hoekstra sure is. Looks like the Republican candidate who wins the primary in a 5-way race has a great chance to win in November. After the primary all candidates and their supporters need to get behind the winner. Great to see Conservative Republican candidates running for the Michigan Governor.
When Obama was in Holland, MI, this week, he dissed Cong Hoekstra who attended the event because it was a Presidential visit. Once again Obama showed no class to a Republican which is SOP out of Obama today.
We remember when the Teamsters endorsed President Ronald Reagan in 1980 and set off a firestorm within the labor unions. Now the Teamsters in Michigan are endorsing in the Republican and Democrat primaries for Governor. Should be an interesting fall in Michigan leading up to the general election.
