Without a political track record, it is difficult to assess Rick Snyder's ability to bring economic sense to Michigan's chaos... but his proposals seem reasonable when compared with Bernero's wildly left-wing approaches.

Conservatives would do well to concentrate on the legislature where budgets and laws can be changed.  Synder may not be the perfect package, but your choice is to allow corruption to rule.

Stacey Mathis is nice enough... I met her at a tea party gathering in Westland... however, I don't believe her candidacy is viable.
