LANSING, MI — Former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm was reportedly considered for a U.S. Supreme Court post in 2010 and Energy Secretary in 2012. Could she find a spot in the Obama administration as Attorney General?

Welcome to Michigan Political Points, my weekly roundup of news, views and YouTubes from the state Capitol and beyond.

GRANHOLM FOR AG? Granholm is among the “frequently mentioned candidates” to replace Attorney General Eric Holder, according to the New York Times. Holder resigned Thursday after six years in office.

The New Republic took the speculation a step further, saying Granholm is one the four candidates who will (probably) get the job, noting that she served as Michigan Attorney General before becoming governor.

Granholm is currently working as a professor at the University of California-Berkeley and co-chairs a SuperPAC backing a potential presidential run by Hillary Clinton.

It makes a lot of sense from the democrat perspective. She's female with a strong marxist background. Plus she's big on throwing a lot of chaos into the voting process. I'm sure they also see a chance to lock up the election for Michigan democrats.

Yep. Question of the week. Who’s the WORST candidate for Attorney General? The competition is fierce.

Jocelyn Benson would be worse but she’s unknown outside Michigan.

well it may be a homo, or a tranny. I think that gets more points when Obama is playing the game of Life.

There are competing issues here. Which plays best at the polls? And, which comes closer to promoting a favored minority ruling what used to be normal, mostly white, America?

For strict racial reasons, a racially active black ... even a "one-drop" black like Holder or Kamala Harris would be preferred. But, I could see it going to a moderate Muslim, or to a Hispanic, or to an LGBTQ specimen. What matters is the completely (to me) opaque weighing process that goes on behind the scenes with ValJar, Obama, and Mooch.

These mind games remind me of stories I've heard of palace intrigue amon the various courtiers in pre-revolutionary France.

No qualifications are needed, as long is it is a female, lesbian, a muslim, of some etnic strain, and anti American, anyone that is tagged with these qualities is a candidate.

Isn't that the truth. She never met a prog idea she didn't worship. It is painful to listen to the garbage she spews.

For the Record says: Sounds like someone needs a refresher course on Michigan’s economy, certainly something that won’t be taught in former Gov. Granholm’s University of California-Berkeley class on how to create jobs.

Michigan lost 576,900 jobs during Gov. Granholm's eight-year tenure.

This state led the nation in United Van Lines outbound shipments from 2006 to 2009, signaling an exodus from Michigan. Michigan led the nation in unemployment for 45 consecutive months from May 2006 to January 2010. The number of people on food stamps in Michigan grew from 580,000 in 2000 to 1.9 million in 2011.

Yes, a Canadian-Berkelian-Socialist-Feminist state-killer sounds like a perfect choice from Obola.

frankly my $$ is on a LGBTQFUBAR kinda person.
If that person (that is a loose term here, person) is black or blackish, okay that’s good, but they have been there, done that already. But the alphabet soup is really an in yo face move.
Just a guess.

Interesting side issue that isn't getting much attention.

U-M Economist Says Feds Shortchanging (Undercounting) Michigan by Tens of Thousands of Jobs

Seems that the same is happening with other GOP lead midwest states as well.

Our democrat candidate for governor recently met with Granholm in Florida for some fundraising out of the media eye.

Granholm is bad. Actually, every national Democrat leader is bad. I can’t think of one on the national stage worth supporting.

Joe Manchin would be the closest thing to a conservative, but he is unreliable on things like gun control.

Pretty sad that a major political party cannot field a single leader who loves America and the Constitution.

I think Granholm is just the gal - very, very pro-abortion, which seems to be the main qualification in the Dem party nowadays.

Incidentally, those who see a conflict between the Democratic Party being pro-abortion and pro-Islam apparently don’t realize that Islam is just fine with the abortion of non-Muslims. The only abortions they prevent are those of Muslims, since populating the world with disposable Muslims who will then blow themselves up on command is one of their strategies.
