Your New Scoop Site

Welcome to Scoop!

To help you figure things out, there is a Scoop Admin Guide which can hopefully answer most of your questions.

Some tips:

Most of the layout is changed in "Blocks", found in the admin tools menu
Features can be turned on and off, and configured, in "Site Controls" in the admin tools menu
Stories have an "edit" link right beside the "Full Story" link on an index page, and right beside the "Post a Comment" link on the full story page. They can also be edited by clicking the story title in the "Story List" admin tool
Boxes are what allow you to write new features for Scoop; they require a knowledge of the perl programming language to work with effectively, although you can often make small changes without knowing much perl. If you would like a feature added but cannot program it yourself, ScoopHost does custom Scoop programming as one of its services.
If you aren't sure where to look for a particular feature or piece of display, try the "Search Admin Tools" link in the admin tools menu.

Uh-oh .. There Goes The Eurotrash Tieless Attire

I be lovin' the 'ol rumor mill today. Oh, what fun... via detroitnews.com

Could Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder be a vice presidential pick?
That's what one Republican political consultant is betting on in an opinion piece published Thursday naming Michigan's "one tough nerd" freshman governor as Mitt Romney's running mate.
"My bet is he's Romney's man for vice president," Chris Ingram, a Tampa Republican political consultant, wrote in an opinion piece for Tampa Bay Online.
Snyder's office said the speculation is a sign people are taking notice of changes in Michigan and focused on Michigan's progress.

Ya right, don't bust your arm patting yourself on the back, Rick. 5th worst.

"There is that perception that Michigan still has a ways to go," said J.P. Donlon, editor in chief at Chief Executive Group. "We haven't received much in the way of feedback that evidences the changes are yet significant for them at this stage."
Donlon said CEOs criticized Michigan for a strict regulatory environment that issues penalties instead of working with and helping businesses.

Actually, Snyder makes a lot of sense for Romney, especially when the Obamneycare debates start in the general election. Snyder is the only governor pushing hard for the Health Insurance Exchange. That should be a huge clue that the GOP heir apparent will merely tinker with retooling the ACA. Wanna bet $10,000 on that? LOL

Now, the ultimate upside for Conservatives in Michigan? It gets governor milquetoast the hell out of our hair so Right-To-Work can be pursued without Snyder's obstruction. Calley expanded government with pushing his pet insurance coverage mandate through, so it'd clearly be to his advantage to work towards the R-T-W goal. If not, then Calley has made himself an easy primary target in 2014. The possible Win-Win outcomes presented are limitless.

Hmmm, now I wonder if there's any way to get Mitt to take Richardville with him too...

A Message To Our Legislators - Beware False Choices

This Is Our Chance

You may recall that, a couple of days ago, I mentioned the initial Dave Agema endorsement list. I'd like to point out that not only has that list expanded considerably, but that expansion includes one very high-profile "get" that ought to, in my opinion, qualify as a major indicator of the intentions of the tea party insurgency for the Republican Party apparatus.

Nothing Like This Could Happen Here

Certainly the credentials committees are ALWAYS straight up and honorable.

A predetermined candidate would have no problem with an integrity breakdown in Michigan politics. By golly OUR credentials committee would NEVER stoop to this miserable level of candidate manipulation, right? Right???

"This year, the Wisconsin GOP is on track for something like 2,000 delegates, which would be double the largest state convention. The majority of those are opposed to Tommy Thompson.
Asa result, the GOP "Credentials Committee" met and tried to disqualify new delegates who signed up after county caucuses (signing up after the county caucuses is permissible under Article XIII, Section 4 of the Wisconsin GOP's constitution). The motion was defeated 7 to 5 with 4 absences. Now the state GOP wants to re-fight this fight tonight and get the 4 absentee committeemen to show up."

Nah.

Our guys have integrity.

Character matters.

Conservatives Support Dave Agema

Break out your ever-handy Michigan Highway map and any random dark-colored Sharpie marker. Using a steady hand, trace the Sharpie along the I-69 corridor, from the Bluewater Bridge all the way through Kinderhook Township. In so doing, you've just drawn the major battle line of the Anuzis vs. Agema contest for the office of Michigan's Republican National Committeeman.

Yesterday, State Representative Dave Agema submitted his Convention Candidate Affidavit of Candidacy to the MIGOP Policy Committee (via the State Party Chairman), complete with the approval signatures of eight district chairs. Now, it's officially on. And an indication of how this campaign is going to be fought is the name that's showed up on my caller ID five times in the past 36 hours (though he somehow hasn't yet seen fit to leave a message on my voicemail).

iCaucus Election Alert (and Recommendation)

You may remember me mentioning the Independence Caucus of Michigan in the context of the 2010 Michigan Secretary of State Republican Primary or this year's republican U. S. Senate primary. However, a couple of days ago I received an e-mail from a key member of the organization's leadership that indicated that they'd be getting involved in one of this year's convention races.

via Detroitnews.com

Two advisers to Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich say he will formally end is campaign next Tuesday and will likely endorse Mitt Romney.
Gingrich had pinned his hopes on a surprise showing in Delaware but fell short.
He had been hinting in recent days that his campaign was nearing an end. His decision to officially shut down the effort comes as Romney has a lock on the GOP nomination.
Rest here

Parting question... Did anyone else wonder why Newt chose to keep Callista's Angry Bird mug by his side every moment of his campaign to remind ALL female voters that he never was able to keep his pecker in his pants as a married man?
