Michigan needs to raise taxes again. Increase regulations and taxes on businesses again. That should fix the problem.

McCain needs to tie Jennifer Granholm around Obama’s neck.
She is more unpopular than Bush.

Grew up in Berrien County which borders Indiana, and is right on "THE LAKE" (Michigam).
I live in Florida now. I went back for a visit. I saw this after I came home, and still have to laugh every time I see it!!

I’m sorry, but the citizens of Michigan are hopeless.
They have re-elected Granholm, and are deserving of their circumstances, and now they are looking for a Presidential candidate who will bail them out and provide them hand-outs, now that they have effectively sunk their own state.
To: MaryFromMichigan
The Governor promised that we’d be “blown away” with her performance. She was right!

It was bad back in the 60s when I went to college up there.
It’s still bad, only much worse.
