One would think, but look at how unpopular Jennifer Granholm is.
I dunno. How unpopular? I do not follow MI news that close. It was my impression she won twice and is very popular.
I must admit I am biased against MI. I never liked it even when I was dating my first wife (I found it ugly and depressing place. Especially Port Huron & Marysville. I was married in St Clair). Since then...well...
