Michigan is the only state in the "bottom ten" where voters have shown good sense and still wound up suffering--and that is almost totally because of weakness in the automotive industry. On top of that, former Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm is cute as the dickens (as we used to say back in the Ozarks)--much more attractive than the supposed GOP "hottie," Sarah Palin. When Granholm wears her spiffy glasses, she's got that "sexy librarian thing" going on. That will get my vote every time. (By the way, Mrs. Schnauzer is a Granholm fan too, so I'm in the clear on this one.)
As for the other states, the lesson could not be more clear: If you want an economy that is "el sucko," punch the GOP ballot for governor or president--and that is exactly what you are likely to get.
