Hoekstra silent on endorsement after Mich. vote

[ccharles000]

After receiving what he called "$3-million worth of pounding" in the gubernatorial primary, Rep. Pete Hoekstra (R-Mich.) doesn't seem eager to get behind GOP nominee Rick Snyder.

Hoekstra sent an e-mail to supporters Thursday thanking them but made no mention of Snyder.

"I am proud of the campaign that we ran," he wrote. "We stayed positive, we never resorted to lies or deceitful practices and we ran a campaign based on ideas and solutions for Michigan's future. The people of Michigan deserve as much."

Snyder dramatically outspent his rivals, with much of it going to his TV advertising campaign. He raised more than $7.3 million, although $5.9 million was his own money, while Hoekstra raised only $1.6 million.

1. Ah, delightful news.

The R's have not yet put away their knives from the primary. Good! I hope they keep 'em nice and sharp!
