Gov. Rick Snyder called a special election after the Livonia congressman abruptly resigned, saying it was constitutionally required.

His administration now says it will cancel the $650,000 undertaking in suburban Detroit's 11th District if only one person -- or none -- decides to run.

Candidates have until July 20 to qualify for the ballot by collecting 1,000 valid signatures.

Republican Nancy Cassis of Novi said Friday on public television's "Off the Record" that she may withdraw to avoid a special election, if she's one of only two candidates. Kerry Bentivolio of Milford also plans to run on the GOP ticket.

But .. but .. but, Constitution?  Sure thing, Ricky GovernDRIC.  And, all I needed to see: Nancy Classless is still .. Classless.  Yannow, the MI-GOP really is more fugged up than Hogan's Goat.  Keep up the good work, Baghdad Bobby Schostak.

Former state Sen. Nancy Cassis, a Novi Republican, is the consensus candidate among a group of 11 GOP leaders in Oakland and Wayne counties to run a write-in 11th district congressional campaign in wake of the botched effort to put U.S. Rep. Thaddeus McCotter on the ballot.

The name of only one Republican, Kerry Bentivolio of Milford, will appear on the Aug. 7 primary ballot.

A group including Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson voted unanimously this morning to back Cassis after interviewing several candidates. Former state Sen. Loren Bennett who had launched a write in campaign last week will drop his candidacy, Patterson said.

Wouldn't it be ironic if meddling ringleader Brooks, lost the district in the general and we all end up with a Nancy anyway?  As in, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Part II.
