The reublican pool looks pretty week. Hoekstra's pandering to the religous right, is a little disturbing. Cox's decission [as Attorney General] to delay the inforcement Of The Michigan Civil Rights Initiatve, was a slap in the face to the overwhelming majority of Michigan voters who supported it. I will not support Snyder, for reasons I've pointed out. I may have to take a look at the Libertarians

I did a little research on Rick Snyder. I see he's been indorsed by Bill Miliken [who also supported Barac Obama, John Kerry, and Granholm]....thats not very com- forting! I see he also supports racial prefrences, and was opposed to the Michigan Civil Rights Initiative....thats un-forgivable. I took alot of pride in not voteing for Dick DeVos, because of his opposition to the MCRI. I also took a great deal of delight in the fact that his losing percentage [58%], was exactly the same as the MCRI's winnig percentage....I think you call that poetic justice. I don't know who I will support at this time. But I will not vot for Rick Snyder....period.

I have yet to see a negative ad specific to any individual from Rick Snyder. He only talks about the fact the Lansing is broken and has a plan to fix the State. All other candidates are building themselves up by tearing the others down. It's about time we elect someone who stands up for himself and not on top of others.
