| Good morning. It's one week and one day left until Election Day. It's time for you to step away from the Internet and get out there and volunteer. Knock doors for your candidate. Call for (or against) one of the ballot proposals. Drive people to the polls on Tuesday. In other words... get up off your butt and be a good Michigan liberal. Make us proud. Pesky Politics - Muskegon Chronicle: Granholm Stumps for Obama in Grand Rapids. He may not have been her first choice, but the Governor is waving the Obama flag statewide.
- WMR: A Conservative West Michigan Newspaper Endorses Obama. There's a lot of that bandwagon jumping going on all around the state this week, isn't there? Sure would be embarrassing if your hometown paper endorsed the other guy.
- AP: All in a Day on the Campaign Trail. Miles and crowds and lies, oh my! It's another day in the life of the candidates.
- WMIPolitics: Proposal 1. Not entirely sure what to think about Proposal 1 and medical marijuana?
Business, Education & Environment - MITF: Michigan Development News. It's all about Creative Cities and solar power this week in the Michigan Housing Trust Fund's weekly roundup of development news.
- TC Record Eagle: Stem Cell Research May Impact Economy. Finally! A discussion about the issue that isn't dripping with guilty tears or nasty invective. Stem cell research takes what would be a wasted resource and turns it into a potentially significant industry both in terms of research dollars and pharmaceutical development.
- LSJ: Put Tolls Roads on Transportation Agenda. I know it may come as a shock to you, but all those miles of state-maintained roads are not inlcuded in the "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" deal.
Things That Amuse Me - Crooks & Liars: The McCain Mutiny. It's like the McCain campaign is a sinking ship and even the head rat (Karl Rove) is making noises about "finding himself" and "exploring new opportunities".
- AmericaBlog: McCain Says $50,000 of Palin's $150K in Clothes Have Been "Given Back". Rut roh! G.I. P.O.W. is upset that Caribou Barbie spent his weekly allowance from Cindy on fancy new clothes so he made her return a whole bunch of things to the store.
Calendar Check - 10/29/08: Warren GOTV Rally
- 10/30/08: Rockin' for Obama (Sterling Heights)
- 10/30/08: Mickey Switalski Coffee Hour (Clinton Township)
- 10/31/08: Halloween
- 11/01/08: Bob Alexander's Birthday Bash (Lansing's Old Town)
Go forth. Do good. Talk amongst yourselves in the comments. |
