Although Warren is a novice and has been largely unsuccessful in doing much legislatively over the past year, her mother-in-law is a politically ambitious kook who still fantasizes about becoming governor, which makes Alma Wheeler Smith dangerous.  

Now, there's probably a better chance that Hillary Clinton will leave Bill and marry Obama after all three join a polygamist cult somewhere in the desert southwest than there is that Alma will ever be elected Governor of Michigan.  But the real reason that Ms. Wheeler Dealer is so dangerous is that she has been grooming Conan Smith since boyhood to take-up her wicked obsession with peddling abortion on demand.  

In fact, I dare to say that Conan Smith is a real-life "Manchurian Candidate." Similar to the 2004 re-make of this classic film, Conan Smith is nothing less than a patsy of his overly politically ambitious mother. He is likewise controlled by a "corporation" of wealthy pro-abort donors and activists who want nothing more than to continue the exploitation of mostly minority and working-class women for financial and political profit.  

To begin with, Alma "married off" her son to one of her drooling, wild-eyed pro-abortion worshippers, Rebekah Warren.  This ensures that Conan will live, breathe, and constantly consume the radical abortion rights mantra for the foreseeable future.  Conan and Rebekah also owe not only their marriage to Alma's doing, but even the very home they live in - the downtown Ann Arbor mansion that Alma's parents purchased in 1945.  

Moreover, Conan Smith owes his whole political and professional career to his mother's famous name.  Conan began his post-collegiate career as a "communications specialist" for the Michigan House Democratic Caucus.  He then was given a job with the Michigan Environmental Council, which is headed by none other than Lana Pollack.  Ms. Pollack is a former state senator from the Ann Arbor area to whom Alma Wheeler Smith served as a legislative aid during the late 1980s and early 1990s.  Ms. Wheeler Dealer eventually succeeded her boss and served as a state senator from 1995 until 2003, when she was term-limited out.

And, is it a co-incidence that, like his mother who served as a Washtenaw County Commissioner from 1993-1994, the first political office that Conan was elected to was a Washtenaw County Commissionership?  I think not.

Since leaving the Michigan Environmental Council in 2004, Conan has moved on to bigger and better things thanks, again, to his mother's connections.  Now serving as the Executive Director of the Michigan Suburbs Alliance, Conan routinely makes news in the Detroit-metro media - all in an effort to raise his profile outside of Washtenaw County.  

In sum, Alma Wheeler Smith has been plotting the political rise of her son, Conan Smith, since he was a boy.  As Alma grows greyer, and as her own delusional quest for higher political office eventually comes to an end, the epicenter of the Michigan Axis of Evil will become Conan Smith.  

Indeed, when Roe v Wade falls, and the fight for a pro-life post-Roe Michigan begins, Conan Smith will be the political leader pro-abortion forces will flock to in their mad quest to keep the slaughter of unborn Michigan children legal - much to Rep. Alma Wheeler Smith's wicked delight.
