Michigan's Governor's Race

NOt much time to think, let alone blog. However, here are some quick thoughts about Michigan and her governor's race.

Jennifer Grandholm has trashed our state. Our economy is in the pits and everywhere else it is improving. Dick De Vos is running against her and should have no trouble winning just by the mere fact that he is not Jennifer Grandholm. He is down to business and down to earth. However, he is a bit lacking in the charisma department. Michigan loves the charismatic and Jenny is as slick as slick:

Example One: Guy graduates from the University of Michigan. Loves Ann Arbor, but leaves to make it big. Makes it big. Returns to Ann Arbor with his big company offering 1000 high paying jobs. After all, he LOVES his Alma Mater and her city, Ann Arbor. Google arrives in Michigan filled with promises simply because a Univeristy of Michigan Alum wants to repay his debt to his beloved college town.
JENNY GRANDMA HOLM takes all of the CREDIT!!!!!

My husband is a "man on the street"/Joe Coca-Cola/Hockey Night in Canada kind of guy. (No, he's not Canadian--but Grandholm was) Anyway, my husband has no big interst in politics and didn't think Grandholm had a chance until he saw her twist the Google thing to meet her needs. He tells his customers and buddies what really happened and most of them thought Grandma-holm personally recruited Google for Michigan and that she has done a wonderful thing bringing in all these jobs! I'm glad he's campaigning because I'm too tired to fight off the slick and slimy this campaign season.

Sorry this is such sloppy prose. >y writing energy was expended this week writing a goodbye letter to my caregiver and a note to the Friend of the Court explaining why I had requested an investigation regarding a possible increase in child support after 9 years.
