Observer & Eccentric papers also endorse Peters
It's time for change, Peters in 9th U.S. House District
The Observer & Eccentric chain, local newspapers that serve every large community in Oakland County, have endorsed Rep. Joe Knollenberg's Democratic challenger for the first time in his 16 years in Congress.
The impact of this could be game-changing, and their reasoning for the endorsement is sound and even-handed.
Excerpt:
"Our endorsement has much to do with Peters' experience and temperament and more than a little with the district's changing demographics as well as the political realities it now faces.
Knollenberg is an eight-term Republican and a man we've endorsed many times in the past. Despite his long tenure, he's never become a "Washington phantom." He's spent countless hours in the district and worked hard and sincerely on national and regional issues.
But new times call for new solutions - and new people. The district Knollenberg once represented, and its challenges, are very different today than they were as recently as 2006."
