George was done being Gov. in 1969. That’s a long time ago.
I don’t know of anyone who remembers him fondly although maybe my mom might have voted for him.
I think a lot of people are going to be disappointed no matter what happens.
Its easy to agree with polls that tell us what we want to hear and its easy for outsiders to forget how he “won” and its easy for outsiders to forget how insulting he was but Mitt Romney faces a serious uphill climb among conservative Michiganders.
I personally think Rick Snyder is on Mitt’s short list of VP picks which helps among the political class but not so much among voters.
