Courser announces plans to run for his old seat

Source: The Detroit News

Former state Rep. Todd Courser said Friday he’ll seek re-election to the House seat from which he resigned last Friday amid a coverup scandal over his extramarital affair with another state representative who was expelled.

In an interview on a CNN morning show, Courser said he has permission from his wife to file for a Nov. 3 primary election for the 82nd House District seat in Lapeer County.

“It really was up to my wife,” he said. “Yesterday, she gave me to go ahead. She said yes, run. She said the people haven’t had the opportunity to weigh in on this.” . . .

Ah yes, and his paramour Cindy Gamrat is running for her seat, as well. The Party of Family Values, of course. They may just win, in today's GOP. Their best bet is to emphasize their values (?) versus that atheist Communist Kenyan Muslim homosexual Barack Obama. I know and have lived in those districts. That may just work.

Hasn't had time to even deal with what he did let alone accept responsibility
for the consequences to his career.

Too soon.

Too much in DENIAL. Absolute narcissist histrionic.

Who makes his decisions? His wife? She's going along with the philanderer and
schemer?

Hope he gets his political clock cleaned. He should go back to charm school.

She and his wife prayed on it and decided he should run for office again. Forgiven and all.
