Huh?  Since when did Granholm become the expert on what Michigan needs?  Just because you have a title of leadership, doesn't mean you are a leader.  Leadership comes from within, and with an unemployment rate of 8.5% (still, the highest in the nation), and foreclosures continuing to climb, I don't really think the Governor is a leader.

Out of the two Governors, if anyone has failed economic policies, it would be Granholm.  Sarah Palin, once in office, immediately sold the jet her predecessor purchased for travel, and instead opted to drive herself around.  Also, she immediately reduced her salary, and reduced property taxes by 60%.  As well, Governor Palin has given back Alaskans a $1200 as an energy rebate.  When was the last time Michigan citizens actually got money back... for anything?

I think perhaps jealousy may have contributed to Governor Granholm's temporary blindness.  Wasn't she supposed to be on the short list for a cabinet position under the Billary Administration?  

Why can't it be, or rather, why the choice is made time after time for the Democrats to immediately bring out the claws?  Shouldn't it be that we can disagree while also acknowledging the accomplishments people make?  In solidarity, as a woman who also has benefited from the Suffragists, you would think Granholm could show more class by at least acknowledging this important event for what it is - a woman potentially becoming the first Vice President of the United States.

I am very excited about this election now.  Truly, I wasn't - it was more `pick the lesser of two evils'.  After going through Sarah Palin's resume, and seeing her unconventional approach to the good old boys politics, I am stoked.  Sure, I'm proud that she's a woman - a mom, a wife, juggling it all, but more than that, her approach - what is right and fair, and despite the personal sacrifice, what are the best choices for the people she serves?  That shows true leadership.
