State Judge Scott Bowen, who was endorsed and feted at a fundraiser by New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer, was defeated in this weekend’s Democrat State Convention in Michigan.  Bowen lost the nomination fight to former Detroit police officer Amos Williams on Sunday.

We touched on this earlier, and can’t help but feel just a touch giddy that the candidate supported and endorsed by New York’s Attorney General – the Democrat A.G. that ALL Democrat A.G. candidates aspire to be like – to run against the incumbent Republican Attorney General, Mike Cox, was pretty handily defeated. 

The next thing that’s going to happen is that Missouri Democrat A.G. Jay Nixon’s endorsed candidate, Paul Morrison, running against incumbent Republican Attorney General Phill Kline out in Kansas, will lose in November. 

That’ll be TWO Democrat A.G.s who have actively campaigned against Republican incumbents whose candidates will lose or have lost by Election Day.

Read both articles that are linked to this post – check out the vitriol that’s already coming out of Michigan’s Williams, and even Missouri’s Nixon against the GOP incumbents. 

The Dem playbook this year is get down and dirty early.
