Just heard on WOOD TV in Grand Rapids michigan
State poll Shows Devos with a 48% poll number and Granholme at 40% with 12 % undecided.

3. Yes but the poll was taken state wide by a polling firm out of Lansing
and has been 100% right for the last 20 years.

2. What's The Surprise?
Amway owns this fucking town. I'm seeing DeVos signs and bumper-stickers everywhere and it's making me sick. O'course you should know that, you apparently live here.

4. Yep I live on the south west side near Fulton Street and Weathly streets.
Was from Saginaw which was a solid dem city. Talk about living in an alien land I've never seen so many W04 stickers and support the troops magnets. Plus even the poor people around here think pukes are the best.

5. There Are Little Coves Of Liberalism Here...
but you have to look hard. I've been out of that scene for so long I wouldn't even know where to look. There's a little local indy music mag (the name escapes me)circulated around that has some clues.

6. unfortunately
I don't hold out much hope that Granholm will be re-elected. I don't want to see Devos in there but Granholm has been pretty ineffective. I fail to see what issues she has to run on..

7. Remember Granholm has been fighting a puke house tooth and nail
for 4 years now and none of these problems are her fault.

8. Try To Tell That To Anyone Though.
You'll just get the glassy stare. I had someone tell me they weren't going to vote for her becasue she was Canadian. :mad:

9. Yeah I know, had one guy saying $3 a gallon for gas was a good thing
because it was creating jobs to replace the ones we are losing. Guy next door found out his job is off shoring so he went on a spending spree, with thinking like this michigans going to be hurting for a lot longer then we can hope for.
