Mike Cox, for example, has 92 points. All well and good, but let's prioritize based on the old 80-20 rule of results versus effort.  We don't need 10 generalities, we need specifics... "these are the very top priorities and this is how they will be tackled."

This would provide a "means test" for each candidate by which he would be measure against:

a. other candidates
b. voters priorities
c. reality

For example, "Bring new jobs to Michigan" means little without addressing the reasons that Michigan has lost jobs over two decades.  What is the one [or two] most important change that can be implemented which will positively impact jobs in Michigan?
