Interview: Chris Savage. You Don’t Know Him Yet. But You Will. | A2Politico

"Chris Savage (pictured left in a photo taken by his wife Anne) and his wife live in Dexter, Michigan. Chris is the voice behind the progressive-leaning Eclectablog. Well, actually, progressive-leaning is putting it mildly. Chris Savage is a guy who thinks Democrats who voted for Rick Snyder are fucking stupid. He posted this comment on A2Politico in response to a recent piece about Ann Arbor Democrats who financially supported Snyder’s candidacy:

“Hey! Where’s the ‘I’m a Democrat who wasn’t stupid enough to vote for a Republican governor’ option??? I told you guys so. I totally did ; )”

Chris posts his writing at The Daily Kos as well as the site Blogging for Michigan. A recent piece he wrote about the “takeover,” as he puts it of Benton Harbor by the State of Michigan’s Emergency Financial Manager Joseph Harris, was picked up by MSNBC political analyst Rachel Maddow. As it turns out, Chris doesn’t only write, he’s a chemist by day, as well as a devoted local food movement supporter, baker and all around writing enthusiast. A2Politico caught up with Chris Savage and got him to slow down long enough to answer a few questions about blogging, politics and, yes, his need for attention." Full Article Here | A2Politico
