Kudos to our new Governor--in less than three months, his approval rating has already dipped to a low point it took former Gov. Granholm six years to reach: 33%. His approval rating among Democrats is 10%--ten fucking percent! Man, that's George W. Bush territory, and he hasn't even been in office 90 days. If the election from last November were held today, Virg Bernero would defeat Snyder 47-45--that's a 21 point turaround from the 59-41 troucing Snyder gave Bernero. Think those approval ratings are bad now? Wait until the fine citizens of Michigan find out that Snyder's $1.8 billion tax giveaway to the businesses of Michigan resulted in next to no new jobs. How low can you go, Governor? Continuing the cheery thread, thanks to Snyder's overreach, Debbie Stabenow's re-election chances have improved dramatically: she now holds double digit leads over four hypothetical republican challengers (including former Michigan Secretary of State, Terri Lynn Land, who I believed was the republicans best potential candidate). And party I.D. now has the Democrats back to 2008 levels, which has to be good news for President Wishy Washy. Note to republicans: if you're going to run as a moderate, it really helps if you govern as such. Governing as a radical tends to really piss off the opposition--and, surprisingly enough, the people whose very names implies their centrist nature: Independents. Anybody want to guess how many Michigan Democrats vote for a "moderate" republican in 2012? My guess is pretty darn close to zero. Peace, emaycee
