To be fair 50% of the district voted for a guy named Barack Obama.

Taj is indeed a Muslim, his own site doesn’t mention it but he appears on a list of elected Muslims. Roberts however is a Larooshie wackjob, he thinks Obama is gonna start a war with Russia that will lead to nuclear holocaust. To win the rat primary in a walk all Taj has to do is make sure people know that. Larooshies only win when no one knows they are Larooshies.

Taj is the official candidate, I’m positive the unions will make sure their loyal voters know to vote for him. His name will be on their flyers and pamphlets.

Obviously he’s more a serious a candidate than I first thought but I doubt he’d win the general election over Bentivolio if the latter ran a competent and properly funded race.

I expect McCotter to win the nomination as a write in however.

True, but people knew who Obama was. Obama spoke like a white guy who went to private school, and his opponent was a quitter in Michigan. Taj is the official candidate, but he'll have to get his name out and avoid low informed electorate syndrome. If I'm Bill Roberts, I'm not saying anything. My money is on Bentivolio. I don't think McCotter can get 30,000 or more write-ins. Here's what one of the more influential Michigan bloggers thinks about the race so far. His district had a write in campaign back in 2010 for his congressman's opponent.
