Since early 2007, I stated that Walberg Watch would not endorse a candidate prior to the Democratic primary. The purpose of this website is to oppose Congressman Tim Walberg and support the Democratic nominee as the most progressive and most viable alternative to Walberg. As the most prolific blogger on Walberg Watch, I decided not to use this medium to support the candidate that I preferred.

This will not change. However, in the interests of transparency, I decided that I needed to mention this.

Yesterday, I began volunteering with the Schauer for Congress campaign out of the Lenawee County office. Prior to the primary, I will not be using this as a platform to support Mark Schauer, and even after the primary, the main focus will remain on Tim Walberg, not the Democratic nominee. I will continue to write about Senator Schauer and Sharon Renier, but will include an end-note about this. I'm certainly not going to try to be biased one way or another, but it's up to the reader to judge if I've been successful.

I have enormous respect for both Mark Schauer and Sharon Renier, and wish them both luck. Besides that, all I can say is that I hope everyone remembers to go out and vote on August 5th.
