Looks like James Craig's gubernatorial bid is dead

[Graham Wellington]

Well that is one way to help clear out some of the clowns. I'm really surprised about Craig. However, if he can't even build a team capable of getting him on the ballot, it's best he doesn't have the chance to run our state.

Perry Johnson freaks me out. Seems like he is a corpse, or maybe an alien.

This whole thing smells of political operative skullduggery.

Whitmer used that illegally raised recall money to pay for the shenanigans.

I hope James Graig can still be on the primary ballot I wonder if James will take this to court to get on the ballot? Glad Perry Johnson is gone I thought he was a long shot I don't see any more ads from him. I like Dixon if James isn't on the ballot I'll be voting for her I think she can beat Whitmer in Nov.

I would be surprised if the Craig campaign does not seek judicial relief.

From what I'm reading here and elsewhere, he's done. He just didn't get enough valid signatures. If it does go to court, the only winners are the barristers who encouraged him to fight it.

I agree with MW about lack of sympathy.
It's too bad because I would have given serious consideration to voting for Craig in November if he got that far.

Just like you're taxes you are responsible for what you turn in even if someone else did it on your behalf.

I love how these idiots all claim these liberal insurgents hijacked their campaigns through fake signature collections.

Interesting that you're shitting on these 18 individuals statewide for being incompetent at collecting signatures, but you're not shitting on Whitmer, Benson, or Nessel for being incompetent at their current jobs.

Because they aren’t. Yet, I don’t expect Gretchen to be re-elected due to Biden’s bad economy. That’s why I am going to vote for the least evil Republican in the primary. Was going to vote for Rinke but then found out he had it in for trans kids. Probably going to vote for Soldano after Markey got kicked off the ballot.

Craig and Johnson never had any signs out. I've seen a lot of signs for Garrett Soldano and Ryan Kelley, as well as at least one Tudor Dixon sign
