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.

Hey folks, Its not a conspiracy that RightMichigan.com has been down more than a time or two recently. The fact is, with the heat, and the Romanian surplus servers not being able to handle it, the connections fall apart once in a while.

Anyhow, for now, we are back.

Currently in the works, are US Senate candidate workups, and republican policy regarding primaries.

The MI GOP has pointed out recently that Stabenow is vulnerable, which gives hope to any of those who have thrown a hat in the ring already, and perhaps even more as time goes by. From a recent Press Release:

LANSING - With her record of supporting ObamaCare, the "stimulus," and higher taxes on the middle class, U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow would lose the election if held today, a recent poll indicates.
"There isn't a single social policy of Barack Obama's that Debbie Stabenow hasn't supported," said MRP Chairman Bobby Schostak. "These policies have inflicted continuous harm to Michigan jobs, our economy and - most significantly - on the working moms and dads of Michigan.
"What's amazing is that Debbie Stabenow is oblivious to the pain and suffering the Obama policies have caused for Michigan's working parents," he said. "Now Stabenow supports higher taxes, greater borrowing, and out-of-control federal spending. Senator Stabenow, we ask: Where are all the jobs, the balanced budget, and the long-term recovery?"
The poll, conducted by EPIC / MRA, surveyed 600 registered Michigan voters. An unbelievable 51 percent gave Stabenow a negative job-approval rating, and only 38 percent gave her a positive job-approval rating.
