Once again, Democrat aristocracy tries to buy a Northern Michigan political seat.
It is clear that the first lady gent of Obama-for-America fundraiser Julianna Smoot is sure of his impending primary success.
The race between Lon Johnson-Smoot, and (a guy who actually lives in the district) Jerry Cannon might have been a bit more balanced, but for a December car accident that temporarily put into question the retired General’s ability to campaign. Any recent uptick in Cannon’s perceived chances are apparently not preventing Lon Johnson-Obama-Smoot from tying up the airwaves just before the general election in late October.
The guy who has a cabin-in-the-woods-for-residency has purchased several thousand in TV ads in Marquette already as reported to the FCC. Cash money already spent
Folks around here respect Cannon, whether he is a Democrat or not. The showing up just in time to be elected will likely leave a bad taste in 1st district Dems mouths as Johnson-Smoot, a true carpetbagging minstrel, takes on a decorated veteran and native Northern Michiganian.
Indeed, the presumptive buying of the open seat follows the rich Establishment Democrat playbook.
Melissa Gilbert "moved" into Howell not that long ago to run in the MI-8 race.
And who can forget the greatest carpetbagger of all, well besides Pres. B.O. himself, when HRC transplanted herself to NY for an open senate seat there.
And Johnson's FB page, can he be any more of a plastic candidate?
He looks like a guy (he might even have been the guy given how much be bounces around) I ran into at the car dealership just last week!
"..Carpetbagging isn't really new for Democrats.."
...or for those running as "Tea Party" (type) Republicans:
(MLive):
"..One of the more significant (redistricting) changes takes first-term Sen. Tonya Schuitmaker out of Kalamazoo County and gives her all of Van Buren County, where she resides, all of Allegan County and a southern chunk of Kent County.."
We will never assail the establishment walls if there is absolutely nobody PUBLICLY fighting inside the castle or simply willing to let down the drawbridge/unlock the gate.
^^^^^Whether a political party artificially lands them where they do (aided by those inside pledged to "change" said party/actions saying absolutely nothing at the time) or they parachute in all by themselves with voters (also) remarkably mute...I have never made any distinction between the two actions or results.

Missing the connection between gerrymandering and carpetbagging?
OABTW, I'm not a huge fan of either.

That man already has my vote.
Interesting not so much as a damn peep about that side of the equation, just hand-wringing about two shitlibs. #CuckBlog
