-In the long term (looking towards the general election), is it wise to criticize Hoekstra's support for the GM bailout?
-Will his staunch opposition to the Health Care bill alienate or attract voters in the general election?
Aside from Rick Snyder, I have not seen any of the other candidates' TV ads, and I was wondering if anybody else has. It's my understanding that Pete Hoekstra has been airing ads, but I've yet to see one...strange considering I live in the West Michigan TV market.
