Granholm is the best choice...The DeVos campaign has been more about public relations than it has been about issues and specific answers...- The Grand Haven TribuneIt's not just newspapers either. Dozens and dozens of organizations have thrown their endorsements her way too (see the list below). I know some people don't put much stock in endorsements, but when editorial boards and organizations are predominately throwing their support behind Granholm that tells me something - Granholm is the right choice for Michigan.
Granholm can lead state to better times... As tempting as it may be to replace her, Michigan needs a leader who can speak to more than just business concerns. The state's turnaround must be inclusive - and Granholm stands a better chance of ensuring the state's poor and low-income residents won't bear an inordinate amount of the sacrifice. - Port Huron Times-Herald [emphasis added]
Granholm right choice for governor...Gov. Jennifer Granholm has been good to Northeast Michigan in general and Alpena in particular, and because of that, she receives our endorsement in re-election efforts. - The Alpena News
Choose Granholm: But the reality is it’s not Granholm’s fault. Michigan’s dependence on the dwindling automotive industry has crippled the state’s economy. Plants have shut down; thousands have lost work. In response, Granholm has created a Jobs Fund initiative which will pour more than $2 billion into new sectors including alternative energy and the life sciences. Granholm also inherited a state with a $4 billion deficit and has had to work during her first term to pull ahead. Starting over is not what our state needs. Voters will be investing in the future of Michigan by voting to re-elect Granholm. - Central Michigan Life

Add the Niles Daily Star to the list... it just keeps growing.
I never knew we had so many papers in Michigan. You would think we could get some decent reporting with all these journalists running around.
It's great to see her getting this much support this late in the game. You seen the new ad from the Granholm? Up lift music running down the new jobs coming to the state. The good thing about Granholm can spit out new ads til Monday night while Amway Dick has to depend on his same old ones to make a point.
Thanks for the tip, Cathleen. I never realized we had so many papers either. I think part of the reason we don't see decent journalism is because so many small papers share the same stories from the same sources. I guess it's cheaper than having a staff of their own.
Johnny, yes I saw the new ad for the first time last night, and its about time. DeVos has been running that one showing his endorsements nonstop in my area. Everytime I see it I yell at the TV: Granholm is leading you 3 to 1 in endorsements so give it up already with all these ads. ;-)
Governor Granholm did NOT get the endorsement of the MI State Police Trooper's Association. The MSPTA president sent out a senseless news release criticizing DeVos, and as a result a recall effort is now underway to get him thrown out of office.
Kathy,
The Amway Dick should stop bragging about the Detroit News one, because people in the city of Detroit know what their political slant is. If Big Bird ran as a Republican Nolan Finley and the Detroit News would endorse him.
I hope these polls don't go to people heads cuz we don't want to relive 1990 all over again.
Anonymous, I'd like to see a link supporting that fact. I tried finding a source to back up that claim without success.
Johnny C, thanks for the laugh. That Big Bird analogy was pretty funny. I agree with you though about the DetNews. No one ever expected them to support Granholm. They're Michigan's version of Fox News - along with WXYZ.
