...Daniel Howes' blog on the Detroit News web site. Post after post after post is "dump Granholm" or some such thing.

Maybe they're wrongly making Granholm the repository of all their troubles. Maybe they're not.

In either case, perception is reality and she's certainly made some wrong moves here...given Michigan's present severely degraded fiscal health.

Now, if you want to see the right way to handle a bad situation, look at Strickland in Ohio. I have some bias here because I'm a former Ohioan but he's actually making significant headway in fixing Ohio's broken public university system and he's got important people from both sides of the aisle working with him. If he keeps it up, someone's gonna approach him about a presidential run next time around...

...but then again, he's a pro-gun, pro-life Democrat. That's how he got elected in a Republican state like Ohio.

And they love him. And he'll get a second term if he wants it. Why wouldn't he?

And that's what I'm trying to say. People like him are the future of the party.
