"We may have decent name ID, but it's weak brand ID. That was something I discovered when I ran," Grayson continued. "Despite the higher profile, it's not like it's a natural pivot into the next statewide race. And I think sometimes that puts us in a bit of a tough spot, because there's this perception that maybe we're stronger candidates than we really are."

The U.S. Senate Historical Office does not maintain a list of former secretaries of state who have served in the Senate. But according to data compiled from the National Association of Secretaries of State and other sources, CQ Roll Call identified just 10 senators since 1904 who ever held that position.

Of those 10 - seven Democrats and three Republicans - just three were elected to the Senate as a sitting secretary of state.

So, one has to ask, exactly what has Terri Lynn Land done other than hold a ho-hum title?  I mean besides running an abject failure 2010 campaign with this twice failed anti-2A dope that split the Party just enough to allow Rick Michigan's nose under the tent.  Did a 2014 Senate candidate Terri Lynn Land lead a charge against Obamacare expansion in Michigan, known as Snydercaid?  Nope.  If you believe so, please, provide a link showing anywhere she did.  It's not like Terri, and her hubby don't have the coin and didn't have the time to bird dog the Nerd bus crisscrossing the state when JenniRick embarked on his Tour de Harassment.  Bottom line.  Where the Hell is Terri Lynn Land?!?!

The state is poised to have $100 million in federal funds freed up to demolish vacant homes in Detroit, Pontiac, Flint, Grand Rapids and Saginaw.

An announcement could come as soon as today that federal dollars previously allocated for mortgage relief have been approved to target neighborhoods riddled with abandoned and burned-out houses, according to four sources with knowledge of the situation.

The federal dollars come from an aid program that is part of the Troubled Asset Relief Program launched in 2010 to help unemployed homeowners stay in their houses and help families with underwater mortgages -- who owe more than their homes are worth.

The $7.6 billion program, known as the Hardest Hit Fund, targeted 18 states including Michigan, plus the District of Columbia, reeling from the housing crisis and economic downturn.

See that?  Poof!  In only two years, TARP transcends into the Hardest Hit Fund.  Pure Magic!  Take a look at the map, it's predominately a Blue State bailout scheme for failed Progressive Utopias.  To paraphrase the late Baroness Thatcher - The problem with Socialism is that the Democrats will never run out of other peoples money in America, as long as there are Progressives in the Republican Party finding ways to steal it for them.

And, the MI-GOP in Lansing, along with the RNC in D.C., wonders why they've been going down in electoral flames ever since they dropped the ball with the 2010 Sea of TEA Partying Red demanding Constitutionally limited, fiscal responsible, sound government.
