This item comes to us from U.S. News reporter Silla Brush:
Michigan Democrats are hotly pursuing two Republican-held congressional seats in the early goings of the 2008 cycle and are working closely with both the national party and Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee to get them.
Democrats have their sights on seats held by Reps. Joe Knollenberg and Tim Walberg. In addition, Mark Brewer, the Michigan state party chairman, tells U.S. News that targeting the seat held by Republican Rep. Thaddeus McCotter is "under consideration" by the party and the DCCC. Brewer says that after having little or no interaction with the DCCC during the 2006 cycle, Michigan is becoming a popular state for Democrats to try to add to their gains.
