Schauer among four to lend support to Clinton
State Senate Minority Leader Mark Schauer & three other senators announced on Monday their backing of U.S. Senator Hillary Clinton.
Without question, I feel that Hillary Clinton is the most ready to become president and is best capable of cleaning up the mess that President Bush has created," said Schauer, D-Battle Creek.
Sens. Robert Jones of Kalamazoo, Liz Brater of Ann Arbor and Gilda Jacobs of Huntington Woods joined Schauer in endorsing Clinton, of New York.
Schauer said Clinton is "battle tested," which will be important in a general election against any Republican nominee.
