    Comments
    Even though this is labelled "Michigan Republicans" it was put out by the Democrat in the race (Keith McCleod). The attempt is to paint his opponent, Robert Davis, as being no different than the retiring Republican congressman, Philip Ruppe. The token is claiming that neither could be trusted.
    It did not work for McCleod, Davis won in a landslide.
    Interesting local lore however!
