Bill Rogers Is Running, But Trying to Hide from Voters

Apparently Bill Rogers thinks he can run for office while hiding from the voters.

The Republican candidate for the 66th House District was supposed to debate Democrat Donna Anderson on Tuesday (Sept. 23, 2008) as part of the Center for Michigan's series of debates in 15 House districts.

But he cancelled at the last minute. See the Press and Argus coverage here.

Rogers did poorly in the pre-primary debate sponsored by the Press and Argus, coming off as less prepared than Anderson, less knowledgeable, and less interested in anyone but himself. He probably doesn't want to risk a repeat on statewide television.

Apparently, he's hoping to coast into office on the coattails of his little brother.

Or he is hoping that everybody sees that sign by the firestation and thinks it refers to him.

But don't the voters deserve candidates who are willing to put in a little effort to show what they stand for?
