Michigan is a relatively conservative state that's bogged down with three armpits, known as Metro Detroit, Ann Arbor and Flint. There are big democratic political machines in those areas that tend to overwhelm the rest of the state, especially when it comes to the press. I haven't found ANY mention of Granholms' love for the sexually-confused in any of the state papers, including the Detroit News and Lansing State Journal. If her stance were to be known on a large scale, it would go a long way in flushing her approval down the toilet.
