Last month, most commentators and national election rating groups had Michigan's 9th District pegged as "Likely Democrat". This race pits incumbent Democratic Congressman Gary Peters vs challenger Republican Andrew "Rocky" Raczkowski, and if Republicans are going to win back control of the House and really put in place some real conservative changes for our nation, this is exactly the type of race that needs to be won.
We all know that Republicans are going to have a good night on November 2nd, but we need to make it a historic one, and that's why national pundits and commentators need to start paying attention to this race. Rocky is a real conservative, while Peters is a liberal who pretends to be a moderate, and to put in place real conservative policies- lower taxes, balanced budget, less regulation, smaller government, no cap-and-trade, no Obamacare, protected borders, strong national defense, etc- we need to have races like this one move from "Likely Democrat" to "Likely Republican." And that's starting to happen.
RealClearPolitics recently changed the rating to "Lean Democrat", and that's a good sign. But an even better sign has come from the Oakland Press, which somehow let a balanced article slip past its usual pro-Peters editors. The article is U.S. Rep. Peters trails in latest tracking poll, and this is exactly the sort of information that should really get you excited that conservative values are going to make a come-back this election and once again set our nation back on the path to greatness:
Republican challenger Rocky Raczkowski has the lead over first-term incumbent U.S. Rep. Gary Peters in the 9th congressional district, an independent weekly tracking poll released Wednesday indicates.
The automated poll conducted Sept. 13 of 300 likely voters in the 9th congressional district and 400 likely voters statewide has Raczkowski at 45 percent and Peters at 40.7 percent with 10.3 percent undecided. The poll was conducted by The Rossman Group in partnership with Team TelCom.
The two greatest threats to Rocky is the perception that he can't win, which polls like this help dispel, and the fact that Peters has received massive amounts of money from special interest groups from around the nation, and he is going to use that money to run a dirty campaign full of thuggish tactics. You can help combat that too, by donating a couple bucks to Rocky through his website.
Thank you to other blogs out there that have also linked to this story, including Michigan's 9th Congressional GOP and Rotti II.
