Your New Scoop Site

Welcome to Scoop!

To help you figure things out, there is a Scoop Admin Guide which can hopefully answer most of your questions.

Some tips:

Most of the layout is changed in "Blocks", found in the admin tools menu
Features can be turned on and off, and configured, in "Site Controls" in the admin tools menu
Stories have an "edit" link right beside the "Full Story" link on an index page, and right beside the "Post a Comment" link on the full story page. They can also be edited by clicking the story title in the "Story List" admin tool
Boxes are what allow you to write new features for Scoop; they require a knowledge of the perl programming language to work with effectively, although you can often make small changes without knowing much perl. If you would like a feature added but cannot program it yourself, ScoopHost does custom Scoop programming as one of its services.
If you aren't sure where to look for a particular feature or piece of display, try the "Search Admin Tools" link in the admin tools menu.

Because they are afraid of a Cain, a Palin, a Perry, Bachmann, or heaven forbid Ron Paul. The pre-ordained method of supporting a milquetoast Romney for Michigan's selection has been made official.

LANSING - Michigan Republicans will participate in a closed primary next year to select the GOP Presidential nominee, state party chairman Bobby Schostak said, following the party's vote at its State Committee meeting on Saturday.
"Saturday's vote by our State Committee was the culmination of months of communication between our grassroots, activists, policy committee members, statewide GOP supporters, and everyone with an interest in ensuring that Michigan sends a Republican president to the White House in 2012," Schostak said.
In May, the policy committee was tasked with researching facts and gathering opinions about which process Republicans should use to choose the nominee. On July 12, the policy committee recommended that the State Committee adopt a closed primary.
"President Barack Obama's policies have done tremendous harm to the economy," Schostak said. "Michigan voters have painfully endured the results of a federal government that tries to be all things to all people. We need jobs, not empty, feel-good rhetoric. And today's vote finally gives Michigan voters the chance to send a Republican to the White House."

Let the Democrat operation chaos begin. Now all those lefties who have no primary can jump on over and destroy the health care mandate debate by helping us nominate someone who's contrast of idea possibility is destroyed by that which he has already done.

Bad play Republican policy folks. You continue to pretend that a moderate can beat this guy. The moderate's inability to clearly define what they stand for muddies the differences. Remember McCain in the debates trying to out socialize housing? Yeah like that.

What might Romney say when his Mass Health care boondoggle is challenged as being the same? we know he has used the 10th argument, but where else has he enforced that belief?

Nowhere. Then he is done.

MICHIGAN FAITH & FREEDOM COALITION

MICHIGAN GOP PRESIDENTIAL SELECTION TOWN HALLS

Concerned Citizens, MI GOP State Committee Members & Grassroots Activists Invited to Voice Opinion in a Transparent Series of Forums

The Michigan Republican Party's State Committee is scheduled to choose a method of selecting the Republican Presidential Nominee for Michigan on Saturday, August 13, 2011. Additionally, the Michigan GOP's State Committee's Policy Committee is slated to make a decision on Tuesday, July 12th. Their vote will recommend to the full State Committee which process should be followed in Michigan regarding selecting the GOP's nominee by Michigan Republicans and possibly the general public. However, many feel that we have not yet had an open and transparent process to solicit the opinions of grassroots activists and concerned Republicans across the state. Please join us as we have an open discussion about the options to determine the next GOP Presidential nominee. We have invited elected Michigan Republican State Committee Members, party leaders, grassroots activists and concerned citizens to listen to each other so that the Michigan Republican State Committee can make an informed decision on this critical topic for our important state and nation.
