Kerry Bentivolio is under attack. The weapon of choice for his opponents: Lies. The reality of the situation, however, is this: When he wins the Republican primary in less than a week, he will have to stand arm-in-arm with some of the very people perpetuating those lies. Such is the repulsive nature of politics; today you pose smiling for pictures with those who sought your destruction yesterday, and will seek your destruction again tomorrow.

Mr. Bentivolio doesn't seem like a man on the verge of winning a seat in the U.S. Congress He seems, instead, like a man genuinely hurt by the lies and cheap political tactics used against him by the very party he is trying to represent.

"They're spreading lies about me," he says, sitting across from me at a little family-owned coffee shop in Northville, "I don't have the time or money left to do anything about it."

The race for Michigan's 11th Congressional district seems to be getting hotter than the month of July here. Following the bizarre circumstances that led to the resignation of the seat's former occupant, Rep. Thaddeus McCotter (R-Livonia), the story takes on epic proportions as once again, the grassroots and the party establishment clash.

That article makes me feel for Bentivolio, sad, and angry all at the same time. The establishment will pay for this, I can't to see Congressman Bentivolio give his first floor speech.
 
This writer and article is great. Plymouth and Northville too... They'll be reading this. Everyone should click on that article and read the whole thing... Very good writing
