so true, at least they can’t tax that!! BTW, I’m a member of ICaucus, and they have been vetting candidates all over the state, sending interviews to their members for review and endorsements. You have a great guy in Tim Walberg!

I see the Walberg ads have been running all day today. I couldn’t ask for a better man.

Lets not forget that she was economic advisor on the Obama transition team.

I guarantee the white house is going to snatch her up as soon as she finishes with us here in Michigan. MUHAAAAHAHAHAHA

I really don’t know who I like for governor at this point. Obviously it won’t be anyone perfect. Probably anybody but Snyder.

When does Jenny-from-the-block's term end? It seems like she's been governor forever.

I’m torn between Hoekstra, who is my rep, and Bouchard. Cox comes across as Smarmy, Tom George as angry (imagine his bedside manner as your doctor! Snyder seems like he’s too good to lower himself to interact with potential voters.

We michiganders have the greatest sense of humor because that’s all that’s left.

Don't feel too bad. One of my Senators (at least until next January) is Barbara Boxer, queen of the Senatorial idiots.

Bouchard has come out in support of a right to work law and that should give him a bump among many of us.

Granholm says the new jobs demonstrate the need for federal and state investment in private industry. She says the partnership with federal government is the key to manufacturing in the U.S.

All the many decades of the US being the manufacturing giant of the world using capitalism and the free market, and only now does the brilliance of Grandholm tell us that we were doing it wrong all this time.

Well as the oil spews into the gulf, Debbie Stupidcow is demanding that Canada stop drilling under the great lakes. Unfortunately we’re stuck with both idiot senators for a few more years.

How many backorders do they have for these gems? Welcome to the Soviet Union.

So the 62,000 jobs come from the number of people who it will take to tear down the manufacturing plant in a few years? Maybe they could put cute little windmills on the cars.

Really? I refer you to the documentary “ Who Killed the Electric Car” where it was shown that there was a huge waiting list to least the electric cars in Ca. during the 90’s.People love them for many reasons. Number one I would say is it costs about $2.00 for a 100 mile charge up! Now there is commercial fast charging stations that can recharge fully for another 120 miles in 15 minutes. Electric motors are so vastly superior but have been held back due to high maintenance profits with the internal combustion engine. There were many electric cars on the road before the oil discoveries here. Too bad it has taken so long to advance in such an obvious way!

You want to back up that erroneous statement with some documentation? Last I read about proposed fast charging stations is that they will recharge at most up to 80 percent capacity, or 80 miles, after 30 minutes. Anything better than that will blow up the battery packs and electronics.

More proof that liberals have no clue when it comes to economics.

There is ZERO demand for electric vehicles no matter how much money the government subsidies it. You still need electricity to power the cars, and the last time I looked, Obama is against new nuclear power and coal plants.

Granholm is a complete idiot. All states should require that their Governor must be natural-born citizens of that state, so that socialists like Granholm and Arnold don't get elected.
