    Some more observations (none / 0) (#11)

    Republicans will have a darn good chance of winning in 2010 - at least governor. If they have the right candidate, they will surprise Democrats will coattails. I'm sorry, but I just don't see John Cherry as a strong candidate. What happened to John McCain is going to happen to John Cherry in 2010. My gut says Cox because he has been elected statewide, but these primaries can be funky especially with this many candidates. All of them except Rick Snyder have pro-life credentials. Right-to-Life normally endorses all pro-life candidates and will only get involved at a serious level if there is a pro-choice candidate. As for the Chamber of Commerce, I could be mistaken, but I believe their primary record isn't too good on the Republican side of the aisle. If Snyder enters, he will have to be taken seriously because of his money and the fact the whole Yob machine (minus Terri Lynn Land) is behind him at this point. On the downside, Rick Snyder is not a strong general election candidate. Has anyone seen him speak on his YouTube videos? He's horrible; worse than Dick DeVos. In the end, Bouchard could win this if he can tap into the deep-pockets of Oakland County. Hoekstra can't be written off, as much as some would like, because he will almost certainly receive the endorsement of Mitt Romney. I wouldn't be surprised to see a Hoekstra-Bouchard ticket in the general election. The Republicans need Oakland County, which is Hoekstra's weak spot. Cox will probably have too much personal baggage to win the primary. Maybe he will be convinced to drop-out for the good of the party and run for a judicial office? His brother is a federal judge and he would make a strong Supreme Court candidate in 2010 should the Republicans not re-nominate Betty Weaver and Robert Young.
