Chip in today to elect Dem govs >>
Democratic governors are leading in the fight against Donald Trump. With our two historic victories in Virginia and New Jersey, grassroots momentum is on our side! But this year, nearly 80% of the country is voting for a governor – and with Republicans already investing to beat Dem govs, early support has never been so critical. Will you donate to elect more Democratic governors who will defend our rights and freedoms and stand up to Trump?
VIDEO: Bizarre Comment of the Week: “Schuette-Wan Kenobi”
Today the DGA bestowed its prestigious Bizarre Comment of the Week Award to Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette for his puzzling assertion during his gubernatorial campaign kickoff that he is Michigan’s version of Obi-Wan Kenobi—an awkward moment that pulled focus from his campaign launch and launched “his own inadvertant ‘Star Wars.’”
“You know, 2018 won’t be easy. You better have your strongest, toughest Jedi knight. I’m like Obi-Wan Kenobi. I’m our only hope.” -Bill Schuete
While we’re Star Wars fans here at the DGA, we were left scratching our heads at the massive gulf between Schuette’s Jedi stylings and his actual Dark Side record.
So, hats off to Bill Schuette for making the bizarre comment of the week. If he’s the Michigan GOP’s “only hope,” his bungled campaign rollout makes clear 2018 will be difficult for them indeed.
