The Senate candidate known as "Liberal Debbie" gets my vote.

I see all the time that Stenenow is a LIBERAL, so I guess that she gets my
vote. However, I remember her best as one of the legislators who drove
through the legislation so that Coleman Young, the mayor marauder of Detroit,
could use eminent domain to condemn residential neighborhoods at the behest
of a corporation. Grrrr. I wouldn't have known her as a liberal unless
Abraham's ads told me.

While in Alabama, I saw some ads arguing that a Ms. Folsum was "too liberal
for Alabama." She, too, is a Democrat running for Congress.
Stabenow.

We can split our vote?! Oh goody. I vote 68.8% Shakey Jake, 31.2%
Stabenow.
(I'm no longer registered to vote in Michigan, but figured I'd take what
opportunity I could to be perverse.)

I was rather disappointed to find that shakeyjake.com is not the web
site of Shakey Jake, but some random New Englander.

Update:
Stabenow -- 16.312 (janc, bruin, fitz, swa, gelinas)
Abraham -- 5
Shakey Jake -- 2.688 (swa)
No candidate -- 1
(refer to 50 for previous count)
BTW, I saw recently that Debbie and Spence are tied. Maybe she has a chance
after all.

no, I'm just not repeating earlier votes. That's why I refer to the earlier
posts. I give the cumulative numbers and the handles of people who've voted
since the last update. =}

Right. Sorry. You'd think I'd've noticed that, seeing as the numbers
in the Stabenow column also didn't match up. But all numbers greater
than, say, three tend to look more or less the same to me, really...

While the outcome was not as, well, dramatic as Grex's vote, Stabenow
surprised me by actually pulling off the Senate run. Congrats, Debbie. =}
(Even though the only time I wrote you was to criticize you ;} )
