Thank you for your service to our country. I pray that you make a full and complete recovery.
I wouldn't re-locate to any of the rust-belt states to save my life! I was stationed at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio in the mid 70's. This was the second time I had ever been east of the Mississippi my entire life. I saw how the unions and the state and local governments bled businesses dry.
I have heard several radio ads on our local Clear Channel affiliate advertising Michigan as a great state to do business. All you need to do is go to Detroit once. This would certainly change your mind.
Does DeVos have much of a chance of being elected?

Thank you, it is my pleasure to serve my Country. DeVoss does have a good chance, the last time I loked at the slanted polls they were 47% Granholm, 42% DeVoss, but there are 10% who claim to be undecided?

We keep hearing from the loony left that the Republican incumbents should be at 50% or more, or they will lose, because an incumbent needs to be over the 50% mark to win, but, we don't hear a peep out of the left about the fact that Granholm has never been over the 50% mark in this entire election, in fact DeVoss has been ahead in the polls until recently, when the pollsters started polling in Detroit only.

Detroit looks like Germany after WWII, and that is not a misrepresentation either. In the 70's there was so much traffic coming into Detroit you had to start at least an hour early to make it to work on time. Today, in the A.M. all of the traffic is leaving Detroit, and there is NO tax base in Detroit anymore, and so the liberals are using redistribution of wealth to keep the dead Detroit City alive, and for that reason, many of us who live here in Northern Michigan cannot afford to own our land. Property taxes are going up and up and up. Granholm has increased every fee she could, and now I will have to go and buy a license plate, instead of the normal little tag, at about 60 dollars. She is an expert at raising fees instead of taxes, and then claim she has balanced the States budget without raising taxes, which is just a bunch of crap!

Anyway, I had better stop now, before I say something I might regret later about Granholm. NOT!
