Actually, Michigan has had more Republicans than Democrats throughout it's history. The last five recent governors:

• George W. Romney - Republican
• William Milliken - Republican
• James Blanchard - Democrat
• John Engler - Republican
• Jennifer Granholm - Democrat

There's only been 2 Democrats in the last almost 50 years.

What’s the difference between a North Eastern Republican and a Liberal Democrat?

What’s the difference between a Michigan Republican and a Liberal Democrat?

What’s the difference between a California Republican and a Liberal Democrat?

As I said, nothing is going to change until there is a serious change in ways of thinking.

George was a RINO (though not as horrible as his execrable son) and Milliken, his Lieutenant and successor, is a full-blown DIABLO, who took his marching orders from Coleman Young in Detroit and endorses nothing but Democrats for President (Kerry and Zero) and willfully kneecapped the Conservative Republican who was running to succeed him in favor of Jim Blanchard. Engler is the only center-right GOP Governor in MI in over a half-century.

I only count one republican in that list, St John Engler.

The rest were liberal RINOs.
