Go Dick Go!

I'd really like to see Stabenow out too, but it looks like I'm not going to get my wish.

Is that Rich DeVos?

[Non-Sequitur]

Being Governor of Michigan is one of those jobs that I can't see why anyone would want. The problems that state is facing being wedded so closely to the auto industry are damned near insurmountable.

A new poll out Wednesday does not agree with this poll. It shows Grandholm with a 47 to 44 lead over Dick DeVos with 9 percent undecided. It shows Granholm's numbers have improved slightly since a June poll. Then 46 percent said they backed DeVos and 44 percent backed the governor with 10 percent undecided. This poll as well as the earlier poll was conducted by Lansing-base EPIC-MRA and surveyed 600 likely voters statewide and had a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 4 percent.

I just don't see DeVos winning in November. Every poll has shown this thing is going to be close, and in Michigan, when it is close, the Detroit Machine finds a way to pull it out. Detroit delivered the state to Gore, Granholm, and Kerry in 2000, 2002, and 2004, while Michigan Minus Detroit easily went for Bush, Posthumus, and Bush in those same elections.

Granholm is immensely incompetent, but no one seems to care. At least when the also incompetent Blanchard lost to Engler, it wasn't close enough for Detroit to steal it.

I was at a meeting with a bunch of Michigan liberals the other day, and they were all raggin on Bush, the country ect. Me being the only conservative at the table, I kept my mouth shut, but I did hear one lady say that she thinks Jack Hoogendyke (sp?) is going to be our next Lt. Governor. I found that odd that she would say that, because she is a huge Dem, and I would think that she would want Jenny to win.

but I think Hoogendyke just wants his job in the congress for now. But maybe DeVos will decide to pick him, I dunno.

The Dems' control over the Caliphate of Michigan is weakening, it seems.

[Salvation]

BTTT! DeVos will win! True conservative, and an excellent speaker to boot. I have heard him speak.
