Governor Granholm took the bus to work yesterday. She says she would like to see more public transit in the state. So would I.
- LSJ: Tim Skubick: Granholm's trapped in same ol' day. "The Granholm years to date have been plagued by an economy that refused to give her a break. Undaunted, she seeks to do what others did not: diversify the state's auto-dominated economy."
Sen. McCain - Michigan Messenger: McCain's host today in Grand Rapids once known for sexist remarks, now focuses on gambling. Remember Republican fundraiser Pete Secchia? Here's a refresher.

- Michigan Political Report: Peter Luke: Memo pins reform proposal on Democrats. More on the PowerPoint presentation titled, "Government Reform Proposal: Changing the rules of politics in Michigan to help Democrats."

- Detroit News: Judge greenlights first Gitmo trial. Talk about fair and speedy...
