| 2005 and 2006 Gubernatorial races - how is yours shaping up? |
|
Edited on Sun Aug-07-05 04:50 PM by ih8thegop
38 states have gubernatorial elections this year or next.
If your state is one of them, tell us what your state's guv race is looking like.
Things aren't too bad for Jennifer Granholm. She led "Amway Ayatollah" Dick DeVos 51-33 in a poll a few weeks ago. If you don't know, DeVos is your typical corporate cheap-labor conservative... and then some. This guy is a f***ing billionaire, for crying out loud. That's because he presided over the outsourcing of thousands of jobs to China as CEO of Amway, co-founded by his dad.
The issue will likely be (surprise) the economy. Granholm has taken two trips overseas in the past year letting companies know that if they want to expand, they should look at Michigan. DeVos, meanwhile, told thousands of Michiganders that if they want to keep their jobs, they should move to China and not come back.
I hope voters will realize the difference between what Granholm has done and what Engler did/what DeVos would do.
