Hoekstra is not seeking re-election in the house and he still had to be voted in by the people. It's not like he took authority that wasn't his or did anything underhanded. When he ran for re-election in the house, he explained that his seniority was far more valuable to the state of Michigan than he realized and that he would be honored to be allowed to continue to represent the people of his district in Congress and he won re-election easily time and time again. He was obviously doing something right. @Brian

The man broke his term limit pledge to stay in office! He obviously got very comfortable there. You say Bouchard doesn't know how to run a statewide campaign...but Hoekstra knows how...because he's never run one before? What has Hoekstra proposed? Can you quote me any direct policies or measures he would enact as Governor? @Dan

Are you aware of http://captainhoekstra.blogspot.com/2010/06/help-us-get-pete-new-couch.html ? Think about that. Also, President Bush did not like Pete because of how outspoken he was on No Child Left Behind. I could go on and on, but I won’t. Also, Bouchard is running his campaign the same way as last time and he won’t get the nomination this time because of his failures last time. Michigan is begging for republican leadership and we need a winner. @Brian

Do you think Mike is using the exact same people from 4 years ago? Not to mention 2006 was a poor year for Republicans across the board, no matter how well their campaigns were run. Hoekstra has done very little in the House, and has been a DC insider for approximately 2 decades now. Do you really think he can be trusted to fix Michigan? @Dan

The reason what I'm saying about Mike Bouchard isn't silly is because I worked for the campaign then and trust me, Mike Bouchard does not know how to win a statewide campaign. He only knows how to win in Oakland county. @Brian

I don't rule him out based on a campaign 4 years ago, that's a bit silly. This also doesn't really change much on why Mitt is endorsing Hoekstra. They go way back, so as big a Romney fan that I am (and believe me, I am!) it's hard to take the endorsement 100% seriously. Hoekstra was on board with Mitt during the 2007 Exploratory Committee stages. http://texansformitt.blogspot.com/2007/01/governor-mitt-romney-announces_25.html @Dan – I’m a Mike Bouchard fan myself, and you know that running for Senate against incumbents is difficult.

But I can tell you that Pete is the best candidate for Michigan without a doubt. Mike Cox is a rotten person as evidenced by his personal life and his tendency to make everything about him. Nothing is more important to him than Mike Cox. Rick Snyder refuses to even show up for any of the debates because he fears he will be found out as the faux conservative he really is. Mike Bouchard is actually a very good man that I like quite a bit. However, his campaign against Do-Nothing Debbie Stabenow in 2006 tells me all I need to know about his ability to run a campaign. He lost by around 20% to the worst senator Michigan has had in my lifetime. We need a true conservative and someone who knows how to win and Pete Hoekstra is that man. @Brian

He endorsed Mitt early on during the 2008 campaign, so Mitt is just paying his political dues here. There are better GOP candidates for Gov.

Ernest is a Constitutional candidate with common sense approaches to turning our nation around and by his bio he is a real fighter. We the people need 435 Ernest Huber's in Congress for a truly represented America.

Sounds like they kept you pretty busy! I especially liked reading about the stop to hear from business owners regarding the challenges they are facing. Mitt is so attuned to we, the people; I'm sure Hoekstra is, too. Love the photos. Ross, great write-up on the Hoekstra/Romney day of fundraisers. Sounds like they kept you pretty busy!
