Michigan in 2008. There were complex challenges and dramatic stories everywhere, from the “Uncommitted” Democratic primary to the landslide in November.
While covering the state for MTV’s Emmy-winning Choose or Lose Street Team ‘08, I came to appreciate the soul and grit of Michigan’s people in new ways. Here’s a look back at my attempt to record history in the making.

From AfterDowningStreet.org:
Having spent the past several years trying to end wars and militarism, I have just voted for a presidential candidate who seems intent on expanding them.
Having won the Democratic primary largely on the strength of his extremely limited and inconsistent opposition to the war on Iraq, Senator Barack Obama chose as his running mate Senator Joe Biden, a man who had led efforts in the U.S. Senate to support the invasion. Obama’s staff have told reporters that he is inclined to keep Robert Gates on as Secretary of War (or “Defense”) – exactly the same plan proposed by Senator John McCain’s campaign. Continue reading

Don’t get it twisted. John McCain did not pull out of Michigan, and Republicans are going to make a strong showing in races across the state. That note of confidence comes from Central Michigan University senior Dennis Lennox.
The 24 year-old Lennox has been working for McCain and other GOP candidates throughout northern Michigan. He’s running the Republican Party office in his county, and in addition, he is the Republican candidate for Cheboygan County Drain Commissioner. Continue reading

While the media’s attention is focused on Denver this week and the Democratic National Convention, I’m packing my bags and gearing up for next week. I will be covering the Republican National Convention for MTV/Knight’s Street Team ‘08.
That’s right. MTV is sending me to St. Paul to hang out with my good friends John McCain, Karl Rove, Dick Cheney and of course, GDub. I will blog and Twitter all day every day, and I’ll submit video at the end of each night. You will be able to catch my Twitter updates here at DistortedSoul.com and on MTV’s www.chooseorlose.com. Look for video on my profile at Think.MTV.com/Nadir.
I’ll also keep a close eye on the protests that will occur throughout the Twin Cities, and I’ve got plans to slip over to Ron Paul’s Rally for the Republic on Tuesday.
It should be an exciting week! I’m looking forward to it!
