At the time, I hadn't decided whether I'd vote Cox or Hoekstra.  He laughed when I said I wanted most to stop Snyder, and would vote on my best guess at whether that would be Hoekstra or Cox.  He wished me well, thanked me for my time, and said he knew Pete would appreciate my vote if I became so inclined.  No pressure.

"None really excite anyone.  None have charisma that lights up a room.  "

..that it might well be the opposite.  I know a LOT of folks who get very geeked on Bouchard, Cox AND Hoekstra.

Been there with all three at some point.

The point I made with an other post however is that Snyder has used this to "balance" the top two.  It makes for intensity that sometimes turns ugly.  If you recall what Snyder did when he saw Cox moving ahead in the polls, he did a "Pete's the better man" routine, thus moving the balance back.  Its good strategy to win, but plays good people against each other.

As for Ideas..  Have you even LOOKED at MikeCox2010.com? No?  Didn't think so.
