Early projection

All right, the polls haven't closed yet, but I'm calling the race for Governor: It's GRANHOLM by a narrow margin.
The last televised debate was last night and DeVos just dug himself a bigger hole. I really liked his strange answer on the question of whether unions were at the heart of Michigan's problems. Kinda wishy-washy. Sorry Dick, no guts, no glory.
Granholm had a nifty retort, citing that GEMA in Dundee is unionized and is a joint effort of three foreign automakers.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not entralled with Granholm. I'm just calling it as I see it. DeVos basically ran because he had the money and nobody was going to stop him anyway. He's just the wrong candidate, even though the Republicans would have had a good shot at the job this year if they had fielded someone else.
I actually know some Republicans who have papered over their DeVos bumper stickers with Granholm ones.
He shouldn't be totaled disappointed. He could be elected some day -- if there ever is an elective office called Grand Squirrely Jerk.
While I'm at it, I might as well call the 17th Senate race. It's RICHARDVILLE, though it might be closer than most people think.
While I'm at it, we'll give ANGERER the nod for re-election and an extra tip of the hat for not even mentioning her opponent's drunk driving arrest.
We're still watching the Manor-Ebli race and it's fascinating to see how their campaign strategies seem to differ. I really wonder who decides the approach.

We'll withhold comment on other local races at this time.
