I got a chance to chat with the most popular Republican in American, thrust into the spotlight after Stupak rolled over last Sunday. Meet Stupak’s challenger in MI-1, Dr. Dan Benishek.

I like the good doctor...
joliefleurs Thursday, March 25th at 8:28PM EST (link)and I have sent him money, but there is another great candidate, too; Linda Goldthorpe.
I’ve donated to both, and appreciate interviews like this to help us get to know the challengers better.
Goldthorpe is a Paulite
Scope (Diary) Thursday, March 25th at 9:35PM EST (link)why would you send money to both when they are complete opposites? Many have problems with Palin, but, I doubt anyone has any questions as to her pro-life position. Goldthorpe sent a letter to Palin questioning just that. It’s on Goldthorpes website. She has also made statements in the past asking why the US would have military bases around the world, and, why would the US send their citizens into war to get killed.
Loser big time.
Dr Donna Campbell (R)
jerrybell Thursday, March 25th at 8:59PM EST (link)Dr Donna Campbell (R), Texas 25th district Congress candidate
She is running against Lloyd Doggett.(D).
She won the Republician nomination and her website list her
issues, they are very good.. All REDSTATE reader please check her out.. www.drdonnaforcongress.com. Pass the work and assist
with her campagin if possible.
jerrybell- This post is off topic
Scope (Diary) Thursday, March 25th at 9:39PM EST (link)If you have a candidate you are supporting, it would be best that you write a diary on that candidate. You are threadjacking.
Sorry bout that
jerrybell Thursday, March 25th at 10:16PM EST (link)I have supported Dr Benishek before all this attention was given
because of Stupak. Wasn’t trying to cause anyone heartburn.
I may be way off topic here but
howard_roark Thursday, March 25th at 9:17PM EST (link)Why is it that conservative women are so much better looking, smarter, and much more classy than their insane lib counterparts? Take Sarah Palin or Nikki Haley or Michele Bachman or Marsha Blackburn or Anne Coulter for example. I guess seeing Rachel Madcow and then seeing Ms Hale’s lovely picture right below is what brought that to mind. Striking contrast isn’t it?
Lefty women often think appearance is fascist or something (nt)

Benishek got a website.
tngal (Diary) Thursday, March 25th at 10:45PM EST (link)Got nothing against facebook but its good to see he finally got a website up and running.. If you haven’t seen it you should go. BTW his facebook had 20,915 friends as of 9:40pm CST( conservative standard time). If there’s such a thing as the political lottery, this guy hit it big time. I know he’s from up north, but I swear you put a cowboy hat on this guy and he’s from Texas or Tennessee.

Ronald Reagan
tngal- He also has a full campaign staff now also
Scope (Diary) Friday, March 26th at 8:51AM EST (link)Through some communications with them, they never expected that this campaign would go national. They started out depending on some volunteers, and the volunteers could not accomodate the speed necessary to get up to snuff. They have hired some really good people, and are now taking the show on a serious road. I read in an article somewhere that they have hired Fred Wszolek, a long time GOP consultant, who focuses on messaging and innovation. They will do well.
