Michigan Primary

[Obscure]

For the Republican Primary I'm hoping for Bouchard... But I'm thinking that Hoekstra will get it. As long as Cox stays out, were good

For the Democratic Primary, I'm hoping for Dillon because he's not nearly as liberal as his opponent.

For the Dems, i think your right. After two Terms with a Dem, odds are good the the state will swing right, and the Dems will need a center left candidate to appeal, if at all.

Anyone know anything about this Pete Snyder (GOP) guy?

Well Pete Hoekstra appears to be a decent conservative and has a much higher reputation than Snyder because he's currently a member of Congress. I'll probably vote for Hoekstra just to keep Cox out, even though I really wanted to see Bouchard win.

As far as Snyder goes, I have no idea who he is or where he came from... Or how he got so much publicity so fast.

Yeah I decided to use Google. Found his campaign site www.rickformichigan.com

seems... hmmm...

Seems like a lot of promises for someone who's never held political office...
There's just something about him that makes me uneasy.

Is there a way to see how the election is going so far? I can't seem to find anything.

No, I guess we just have to wait for the news at 11.

Here's a link that will post them live around the time the polls close at 8 pm:

Well it looks like the nerd is our next governor. Bernero is a joke and everyone knows it. We all know how well he handled Lansing. I can't even imagine why so many Democrats supported him. I know Dillon wouldn't have won either but he would have had a better chance because of his somewhat centrist policies. But the fact is it's between a moderate and a liberal. And this time the moderate will prevail.

Really? You must not spend much time there. Old Town has been the focus of a lot of urban renewal projects, Common Ground continues to book hugely popular acts, and they've built new condos in the stadium district within the past five years. Downtown hasn't seen that much activity in a long time.

The fact of the matter is that Bernero can't campaign to save his life. Hell he threw his own party under the bus during his primary acceptance speech. He's gonna destroy himself all on his own and let Snyder take the cake. Not only that but he also has to worry about the damage Granholm has done over the past 7 years. Her record sure won't be of any help to him.
