As I resident of Michigan I’d say, yes. Good communication, however, does not mean one can run a state.

Seems to me that the threshold question is why Beck or anybody else would want to be governor of Michigan. It seems a pretty thankless job.

No! We need him where he is: he has a HUGE audience.

No.

Glenn Beck is a stellar political commentator, but he would predictably make a lousy politician.

He’s doing a LOT of good right where he is. Let him continue. If he ran and lost, he would never recover his current authority with his audience and likely would not even get his job back.

I’ve been thinking the same thing. He could accomplish a lot in Washington.

We'll all say the same thing about Zer0. He can read off a teleprompter flawlessly, but that doesn't mean he can govern a country.

I’d say yes. He can’t do any worse than Granholm. There’s nowhere to go but up.

I especially like how she has gone back on her PROMISE of the Michigan Promise grant. /s But, then again she is probably just following the feds lead, since they backed out on their grant.

No, he’s much more valuable doing what he’s doing.

“No, he’s much more valuable doing what he’s doing.”

DITTO. same thing has been said about Rush, Levin, Hannity ,and others on the National scene. Due to campaign laws they would have to leave their show, right at the point when we need them the most, the 2010-2012 election seasons.

I agree!!! To bad we can’t clone him though. Michigan could sure use someone like him that’s fer sure. Get rid of the Granholm woman. Fat lot of good she’s done us.
