Reply #3: I'm kinda tired of hearing this excuse [View All]

Can't the national party throw some money her way to counter these Devos ads? I would think the governorship of a large swing state like MI would be worth it. The Democratic Party and progressive 527's have no money to do this?

"Oh just wait until Granholm starts her ad blitz." Seems to be a refrain. I hope I'm wrong but I worry it's going to be too goddamn late. The presumptive choice of the undecided swing voter in shitty and anxious economic times is going to shift to a challenger as long as that challenger seems reasonable enough. "Why not give this guy a shot?" is the conventional thinking. It's going to be alot harder to counter swing voters' positive first impressions of Devos later on that it would have been to tell them what a nutjob he was during March Madness and the Pistons and Red Wings playoffs. Not hearing lotsa water cooler chatter about what a kook Devos is like I think I should be. All he's got to do is keep it close in Macomb and Oakland Counties and he is in there.
