Folks,

Any truth to the rumor that Devos is willing to work for $1 a year?

No.

He claims he'll work for free.

DeVos, who is a billionaire, received his biggest ovation when he said he would refuse to accept the annual $177,000 governor's salary.

That's great! In all honesty, I see a great deal of good in him.

Looks like the DNC is controlling the questions for this debate. Who is the lizard from the Free Press? What a douche bag!

iron,

He is an awful debater, but go take a look a his PDF files on his website, he has got a game plan for everything.

I have had breakfast and lunch with some small business types this past week.

They agree with me, 4 more years of Granholm, and it is over for Michigan, we are done for.

Devos is a wuss. He won't even defend school vouchers. He reminds me of Bush 41. Granholm is an unapologetic hard core socialist. Devos should be eviscerating her.

With all the handouts for attracting business both of them talked about, I'm thinking I should move there.

DeVos is definitely an awful debater, and it is especially evident compared to Governor Granholm. Dick could use some lessons from George Allen. In the VA Senate debate on Monday he was able to steer the focus and avoid his scandals through showmanship and strategy. Sure, last night Dick looked slightly better, but not nearly as strong as he needs to be in order to win. I thought the format last night would present Dick with more opportunities to attack and finally give some specifics on the real issues. He needs to land a knockout in the final debate.

As for working for free, that is a no brainer and a gesture that would give him some great PR. Plus, $177,000 is pocket change to DeVos.

Not to mention backing off on abortion. Kind of a pivotal issue to change your mind on this close to the elections.

He got great PR for announcing that he wouldn't take a paycheck, and a weak rebuttal from Granholm saying that she gives back 5% of her paycheck. You should check out DeVos's speech at the Detroit Economic Club this week. It was linked at www.wzzm.com (Channel 13 Grand Rapids/Muskegon)

If he can do what he did in that speech on Monday night, then he'd look great going into the last couple of weeks. All the talking heads say this was his best speech so far and I agree.
