Inaugural Speeches and Post-Analysis

John Cherry (4.00 / 4)

No decent pics of Land or Cox from the Center, have a few from outside that I might get to later. Maybe.

Check out my photo album of the festivities (0.00 / 0)

I have a ton of photos from Sunday night and Monday.  I posted a different link in another thread, but don't like the fact that it sends you to all my albums rather than just this one.  I now set this up in Kodak rather than Yahoo!

And by the way... (4.00 / 2)

... spot-on analysis of Land. If she isn't running for Governor, I'll eat a bug.

The News has a picture of her talking to press long after everyone was gone, and she has been all over the TV here for the Ford funeral.

She is a West Michigan darling- the Press had her as heir apparent until Dick decided to muck things up.

Watch for her to get her face on the screen as much as she can these next few years.

Ohhh...GAWD! (0.00 / 0)

Please...please say it ain't so...

Sorry to sound so superficial...but I can't stand to see her face anywhere.  Or that smile of her's. There is no warmth behind it... It is cold and calculating.

We shall ALL remember this for If she doesn't run for Governor then we here at MichLib get to pick out the chewiest,biggest bug...OK? hehe ;)

Just have this feeling.... (0.00 / 0)

A lot can happen between now and then, though.

It could be my slanted perspective- she hit the media hard over here for the Ford coverage, and then to see this picture this morning, and that speech yesterday... it starts to add up.

She's running for Gov (0.00 / 0)

I wouldn't eat a bug, but I'd put $$ on it.  By the time that race gets here, she'll have changed Michigan elections to the point where it's much more difficult for a Democrat to win a state wide race.  (and she'll use our tax dollars to do it)

What in God's name are they interviewing her about? The disign on the next license plate?

Agreed (0.00 / 0)

Actually, I'm guessing that she and Cox are duking it out now over who runs for gov and who runs for Lt Gov, and whoever has the biggest warchest by March 2010 will get the front slot.

Cox had $1.5 million going into 2006 and didn't spend much of it.  Anybody know how much Land has?

And I'll ask again:  who are the dems going to run?  Is anybody awake down at the MDP station?

From the News (4.00 / 1)

... late October.

In the attorney general's contest, incumbent Mike Cox collected $1.88 million and spent all but $42,000 of it.

In the secretary of state race, Republican incumbent Terri Lynn Land has a huge money-raising advantage over challenger Carmella Sabaugh. Land has collected $1.17 million, spent $1.27 million and had $42,476 left to spend.

If the MRP stays extreme right, Cox might be their choice- but his "extra curricular activities" will become an issue in a race for the top job.

And if anyone is awake down at the MDP, they certainly aren't going to tell us about it on their website.

Don't get me started.

That's one possibility (4.00 / 1)

I also assume John Cherry will run.  There isn't one candidate I can think of who has the charisma of Granholm, though.  Whoever it is won't be able to hold a candle to her.  We're going to be so spoiled after 8 years of Jennifer, I know that I, for one, will be very hard to please.

I figure it will be one of them.

Terry Lynn Land Watch (4.00 / 3)

We should do a Terry Lynn Land watch. Everytime we have to wait in line 20 minutes we write about it.

Sample post:

Location: Niles office 01/02/07
Purpose: Daughter getting learners permit
Clerk: Cindy
Wait time: 16 minutes
Photo Quality on New DL: Poor
Comments: Cindy was polite but not welcoming, her photography skills are minimal to none. My license tags that I got are an awful green. Cindy's temporary permit is easy to photocopy if in the hands of terrorists. Office had drab wood panelling. If I can do everything online why I cant I just upload a flattering picture of my daughter Daisy. She looks all pasty in this. Blue background leaves much to be desired.

Haha.
