He is not a social moderate and financial conservative. Based on his interviews so far, he is a social moderate AND a fiscal liberal.

Check out the Zandstra "interview". Snyder is the former head of the MI Economic Development Corporation. As in corporate welfare, government-managed economic interference, special tax rates for the centrally-planned chosen few, etc. The MEDC has been an unmitigated disaster in socialist central planning. This guy helped create this monster? Ugh!

In my experience, the only people who can be trusted to be "fiscally conservative and socially moderate" are libertarians who simply oppose government intervention in either spheres. Most self-described GOP "soc mods" are the William Milliken-Joe Schwarz-Pan Godchaux "republicans" who are ANYTHING BUT fiscally conservative.

I know it is early, but I want friggin' solid proof of fiscally conservative credentials and the damn MEDC is a terrible start! He couldn't even answer MIRS on whether he supports the MBT surcharge? No Republican should have ANY trouble answering THAT question!
