You remember Lee Iaccoca, of Chrysler bailout fame?
He’s stumping for Devos now, and it ain’t pretty.
John Truscott said “the campaign decided to feature him because 'everybody here knows him as the greatest turnaround expert in Michigan'.”

I blogged a couple days ago about Mike Rogers trying to jump on Debbie Stabenow's bandwagon. Now it appears he's running around trying to sound like Jim Marcinkowski.

The GR Press weighs in regarding the China - Alticor - DeVos issue. They accuse Governor Granholm of demonizing trade with China."Michigan needs a turnaround, but it won't be

Awesome editorial here about Senator Stabenow stealing the thunder from the do-nothing-right GOP. Some of my favorite excerpts:And for U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Brighton, and other Michigan politicians, it means no more grandstanding on the issue.When the out-of-state trash issue reached its ripest stench about three years ago, Rogers was ...

The latest email from DeVos' campaign coordinator underscores the fact that DeVos has no ideas and no positive messages, but he does have tons of money.
"Your help is needed in Shiawasee County to ensure that we do not have 4 more years of Jennifer Granholm as our governor."
