MI's Scotty Boman Likely to Run Again in MI, for Senate -- AS A REPUBLICAN!

[Kludge]

Traditionally, Boman's run as LP candidate with the most success the MI LP's recently seen. Boman's been very involved with Ron Paul's campaign and if he runs this year, has said he'll be running as a GOP candidate for Senate, to replace Debbie Stabenow. Boman's been consistently and successfully fighting for Ron Paul and the LP in the area, with a very high amount of visibility accumulated. Boman endorsed Ron Paul's Four Point Pledge in '08.

Boman currently has a minor exploratory website up, including a press release for his recent win at a small C4L straw poll. http://torunornottorun.org/press-releases.htm

He's a libertarian constitutionalist who's been introducing and repeating fantastic ideas to the LP of MI to appeal to the conservative voter base. In a well-contested GOP/Dem SoS race in 2010, Boman received over 55k votes (nearly 2% total votes cast) under the LP banner. Worth knowing the LP's 2010 candidate for governor received less than half the amount of votes.

There's pretty stiff competition in the race. Newcomer Clark Durant has the Anuzis endorsement, and Pete Hoekstra is a veteran politician.

Hoekstra has Snyder's endorsement, too. Good luck to Boman all the same, and glad to see him still very active.

LOL! Snyder's not all too popular in our local GOP. If Scotty works the TEA Partys hard, he might get some traction.

Really? There were still signs out when I was in Southern MI a few days ago. My mom won't stop going on about him. From what I heard from biased sources, he's making relatively large strides toward balancing the state budget, cutting spending, and simplifying taxes. On the radio while driving, I was hearing about how he's taking a lot of heat by (allegedly) illegally denying state workers their scheduled 3% pay raise. What's he doing wrong?

Hopefully he picks up votes based on his name alone. "Oh hey, Scotty Bowman is running? He was an awesome coach, I'll vote for him".

Yeah my friends father (Libral) is forcing his daughters to sign the Snyder recall petition. I said "Do not sign it unless you know why people want a recall and that you believe he should be recalled, before you sign it." These girls have absolutely no clue about politics.

This is the kind of problem we see all to often. Blind voters and people being told what they should do without knowing if it is what they want. Next time I am over there I am going to go all Ron Paul on his ass and try to convert him.

And LETS GO SCOTTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (clap clap clapclapclap)

I don't hate him. He's not one of us, that's for sure, but he's better than Grahnolm. But Snyder raised taxes - "only" on pensions, mind you, but that was enough to piss off this county's GOP. And that damned bridge he's hell-bent on building isn't popular here, either.

When I say the GOP and TEA Party here are Ron Paul friendly, I mean it. They're not "us" but they don't reject us on principle, either.

Are you sure? I think Scotty is his son, but I don't know why I think that. Oops! You're right. I am glad you mentioned that!

Nope, they're not related. Their names are even spelled differently (Libertarian "Boman" has no 'w' in his name).

It is worth noting that Rep. Amash has already endorsed Hoekstra.

LOL. You beat me to it AND with the same pic

I believe DeMint has also.

[angelatc]

I saw an interview with a guy who said he believes Rand Paul is the best Senator in the Congress today. Unfortunately, he also liked John Bolton for president.

Hoeskstra is probably a shoo-in, but he was pro everything the TEA Party was against. It's a shame.

That was my take. I am still looking for any kind of improvement that the "R" Governor might bring. I haven't seen anything yet.
But it would no doubt take some time, the UP is generally and universally ignored.
