Former President Bill Clinton praised Lansing Mayor Virg Bernero as a top urban leader during a Sunday campaign appearance in Detroit, but his speech to mostly committed Democrats seemed unlikely to make a difference in a race where independents appear to favor Bernero’s opponent.

Bernero, mayor of Lansing the past five years, has been trailing Republican businessman Rick Snyder among independents and Republican voters in polls leading up to the Nov. 2 election.

Clinton told about 500 people at Detroit’s Renaissance High School that Bernero was the only candidate with an economic plan to turn around Michigan’s battered economy, and he mocked Snyder’s platform as empty “mom and apple pie” rhetoric.

According to news reports more than 500 people came to the rally, but the gym at Renaissance High School was only about one-third full. Even in Detroit democrats are turning their backs on their leaders.

MORE power to the Unions, and more poverty for the poor in Detroit. They decide. We all make our choices.

[jivin gene]

Poor slick.

500 people is the entire population of Detroit. Probably bused some in from Canada.

Hey! I thought they were all crazy.

Why is it battered and why does it need to be turned around?

Soooo, this ‘rat has had an economic plan in her pocket that wasn’t implemented while the economy was tanking.

Kick this ‘rat in the crotch on election day.

No, no, Mr. Lakeshark, I did not. But, I know exactly where that school is.

Happily, I was at work today. :)

Boy he is getting old faster than he did as President

It’s the hippie vegan diet he is on.

I hope that it will not make any difference...

[Panzerlied]

That picture makes me wonder if “Bubba” has been hitting the sauce pretty hard. The glass may have been full before he took a little sip....or two....or more.

Was Kwame there to meet him? /s
