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.

Just in via The Detroit News

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.

Go Bentivolio, Go!

Costly Consequences Driven By... Party Establishment

That's right. CD-11 just told the only Republican on the August Primary ballot, FU. Yup. Party establishment is going to make the whole disastrous CD-11 process a costly primary and general election battle.

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.
Rest here

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.

Stranger things have happened...
