She has handlers though.

She has not the capability to pull off a bow to onlookers without externalities holding her up.  The meat puppet senator's 'machine' being a strong labor backed mechanism, has already begun to feed her the topical corrections that will guide her towards a more favorable place come November 2012.

Start with the Fire and Police Unions:

Twenty fire departments in Michigan have $1.6 million in federal grants coming their way.

The cash comes through the Department of Homeland Security Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program.

It'll be used to help needs in the areas of equipment, training and staffing.

The grants were announced this week by U.S. Sens. Carl Levin and Debbie Stabenow.

Check.

Then, making sure that the battery legacy of the former mis-handler of Michigan stays true:

Washington -- Sen. Debbie Stabenow plans to unveil legislation later this week to boost electric vehicles sales.

The Lansing Democrat is circulating a 21-page-draft of her bill -- the Charging America Forward Act -- that would give the U.S. Energy Department another $2 billion in grants "for the manufacturing of advanced batteries and components, and provide facility funding awards" for vehicle batteries, hybrid electrical systems and components.

Vroom!  Those manufacturing jobs have 'big labor' written all over them. Never mind the as yet demonstrated money pit electric subsidies have proven themselves to be.  If Guido hands her a bill to push, she KNOWS what's good for her, and it is presented as written.

But, good for her might also be a diet of upgrades in stature.  Or maybe a tofurky sandwich.

Her support for the small farm killing SB510 "food safety act" got her a prime spot as the CHAIR of an ag committee, which means she is TOO important to lose, right?  Her reward for being a good little meat puppet of the insects running the US Senate brings her back to Michigan:

Senator Stabenow is the new Chairwoman of the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry.  She met with local fruit processors and producers who are creating agriculture jobs in Michigan. She then met with local shoppers while touring the Indoor Farmers Market in the Village at Grand Traverse Commons.

"Agriculture supports one in four jobs in our state. As Chairwoman of the Senate Agriculture Committee, it's my job to help those companies stay successful and to keep growing. Today's visit was an opportunity for me to meet with some of our great Northern Michigan fruit growers and processors and listen to local residents at Traverse City's wonderful farmers market," said Senator Stabenow.

Centralized control of farms only resulted in the demise of a few (30million plus) folks when attempted before.  The jackbooted thugs operating under the authority of the new law SHE supported have already shown a propensity towards hostile treatment of private growers and producers of the foods we eat.  The video in one of the links above, has a farmer asking "why would people be involved in farming if they see what is in store for them?"

Good question.  And one we have seen with regard to Medicine (something the MORON supported) as well.
