Lon Johnson, a guy who still needs a map in order to safely travel through the district he attempted to represent, and who mounted a reasonable campaign against Republican Bruce Rendon in the great white North, has now thrown his hat in the ring. Apparently he enjoys the support of such stalwarts as Michigan Meat Puppet Debbie Stabenow, Carl Levin, and a miscellany of [not-so]secret socialists within their ranks.

Johnson, who had ads challenging "those corporations" in charge, showed old imagery of the trains in his ads ("Trains don't stop here now cause the big corporations running the show" - seriously) that had brought his ancestry to the area at a time that was presumably 'corporation free'.  Playing the social justice card, he did surprisingly well only 5 points away from the Republican in a reasonably conservative district.  Of course spending over $300K (and double opponent Bruce Rendon's $$$) gives one a leg up; and the class warfare irony is complete.

Brewer, arguably one of the most experienced chieftains of team bizarro, has recently been snubbed by the UAW, and in particular Bob King, who recently said "no mas senior Brewer"; threatening the engaged-at-the-hip relationship of labor and the Michigan Dems if Brewer was to remain.

We see little difference in philosophy of either man, or in what they will support.  

The Michigan Democrats will support Fraudsters like Hathaway, Schemes like fake Tea, and Road money redistribution schemes like Snyder's until the end of time.  In a way, it would be interesting to see Brewer hang around a little more, and find out if Bob King is actually serious about withdrawing support from the MiDems; a love affair as old as progressivism itself.  Johnson's wife's fundraising skills, reportedly being responsible for $800 million shekels in the coffers of the Obama campaign however, might tempt even the best buds of the embattled Brewer, who also faces new claims as an accessory to the blown fake tea scheme.
