2. The list can't be THAT updated...

Ginny Brown-Waite withdrew several weeks ago, and hand-picked her replacement... some local sheriff, IIRC.

4. MI's 8th District - Kande Ngalamulume vs Repub Mike Rogers

In a district won by Barack Obama in November 2008, I believe Kande can overcome negativity about a Democratic nominee's chances at winning against Rogers. Kande came here from the Democratic Republic of the Congo as a kid, and graduated from Michigan State University. He recently said that if elected, one of the first things he would do is push to move the health insurance exchanged up from 2014 to start in 2012. I have met him personally, and he is a great guy and a candidate who deserves all the support in the world.
