Bentivolio Crushes Cassis Write-In Effort
The support of local Republican leadership for her write-in bid was nowhere near enough for former Sen. Nancy Cassis to overcome Kerry Bentivolio’s position as the only candidate on the ballot as he defeated her in a landslide.
Ms. Cassis was not even able to generate a strong win in her home community as she trailed Mr. Bentivolio with only 34 percent of the vote to his 66 percent, the entire vote counted. She won only a handful of precincts in her hometown of Novi, but Mr. Bentivolio even won several precincts there.
…
Republican political consultant Tom Shields of Marketing Resource Group said the big question is how much money the GOP decides to invest into Mr. Bentivolio’s campaign when he very well could be a one-term member of Congress given an expected primary challenge in 2014.
“That’ll be very interesting to see how much they put in to try to save that seat. And I think that’s in the back of their mind,” he said. “On the surface, they’ll certainly embrace him, but the proof will certainly be in the amount of dollars that flows into the campaign.”
