      Nice interview. (none / 0) (#6)

      I could easily vote for Cox in the general election.  The primary?  That's going to be a tough decision.  

      Tax pledge aside, there doesn't seem to be much difference between Cox and Hoekstra.  I don't put too much weight on the tax pledge, because in my mind, it depends on how you interpret it.  If you understand the pledge to mean that no tax can be raised, that's a tough thing to sign.  If like Cox, you understand it to mean that taxes as a whole can't be raised, then it's a no-brainer.  I didn't see any actual wording though, so I could be wrong.

      Unless I missed it (which is possible since I'm also watching my 2-year-old), I didn't see any mention of making Michigan a "right to work" state.  That is one area that I think I disagree with Hoekstra on, though I understand his reasons for taking that position could be political.  Still, I think it's an important issue to look at.  Becoming a "right to work" state would definitely be attractive to business, and would seemingly fit in well with a general overhaul of Michigan's business tax/regulatory climate.
