    "Moderate" Snyder embroiled in false endorsement controversy | 18 comments (18 topical, 0 hidden)
    Encouragement (none / 0) (#12)

    As of now, I have not yet decided which candidate to endorse for the Michigan's gubernatorial race.  However, during the time preceding an endorsement, party leaders often encourage -- or urge -- many candidates to run for a variety of offices.  Encouraging a candidate to run is like one standing in the crowd watching a parade and only waving to the candidates that greatly impress him.  An endorsement is when one marches in the parade with his chosen candidate.  Right now, I'm not marching with any particular gubernatorial candidate.  Even though Mr. Snyder has not yet even officially announced his campaign; I signed a petition urging Mr. Snyder to stay in the race because he will bring to the forefront issues that could make him a solid candidate.  

    I can understand that the e-mail announcement/press release from Mr. Snyder's campaign would confuse many, especially to those uninitiated to campaign strategy.  Also, Mr. Snyder's should have made more understandable that those who signed Mr. Snyder's statement were expressions of encouragement and not expressions of endorsement.
