They both seem to be people who are willing to put principle over party and that says a lot especially since our own damn republican party allowed the tax increase we all blame on Granholm and Cherry.

With that said.  I read through some of the comments and I tend to agree the AIG vote speaks volumes to me... why? Because he first voted to bail out wall street (bad), then he stopped supporting the bailouts (good), and then he voted to retroactively taxed people by 90% (bad)... And the explanation I read in the Detroit News was scary (something about "it was politics and nancy pelosi made me do it...").

Now I agree that's one set of votes, and that's why the jury is still out.

Anyhow, enough ranting for one post.
