Bad news first: Linda Goldthorpe, running for Congress in Michigan's first district, lost her primary election. In all likelihood, the globalist war-monger Bart Stupak will keep his seat. Even if Tom Casperson manages to win the seat, Casperson, having promised nothing to anybody, will be no friend of liberty at all. Back in Ann Arbor, the more populist, fiscally responsible candidate for City Council, Vivienne Armentrout, lost the Democratic primary to Carsten Hohnke. Unless Armentrout runs independent, the race is over. Remind me to write Vivienne about doing so.

Good news, though: Ken DeVee, a true conservative who will defend civil liberties and fiscal responsibility, won his primary for the 55th State House district. The 55th is Pittfield and various parts of Monroe county (map here).

Also, the repugnant Margaret Connors and Joan Lowenstein both lost the primary to less-evil Chris Easthope and Eric Gutenberg for the 15th District Court vacancy. Between the two, I prefer Gutenberg, though not by much.

Unless I decide to get involved with DeVee's race, I am probably not going to be involved in any particular races until the Campaign For Liberty's website project is completed.

Update: It appears that, in remarkable similarity to Linda Golthorpe's race, the vote totals have changed to make Ken DeVee the loser of the race, not the winner (throughout the 1st District, media reported on election night that Linda had won). Let's hope Ken and Linda will get to the bottom of this...
