Considering that Michigan is suffering Granholm, Romney would be an improvement. Maybe not much of one, but how much worse can it get? Come back and see us in three months.

Most of the Republican field is full of "stopped watch candidates." They're right twice a day about some issues, but only spout the word "conservative" or "conservatism," thinking & hoping that saying the adjective alone is what's going to motivate sleeping Reaganites and cure all that ails Michigan's and the nation's ills.

Michigan is a 50th of what's wrong with the federal government. This is state where have townships that cross jurisdictions with cities and municipalities-counties and cities they all coalesce together (about the only function they do) with their constituency/interest groups. They can all be found together clogging the left lane of the road to progress. Rather than "passing on the right" as the Republican candidates should, they have instead moved up along side of the slowpokes in the left lane and have merely matched their speed; probably 55 MPH.

What Americans face is a government problem, and the Republican field is an uninspiring lot of practical management types out to not let the status quo get any worse. McCain? Romney? Huckabee? C'mon man, Bob Dole looks feisty and inspired by comparison.

p>Since they don't do drug testing after these kinds of races (primaries or the Presidential campaign), can someone please forsake the drug laws in America and get Fred Thompson the crystal meth shot he needs to get moving. The groundwork has been laid already! We're dying out here looking for energetic and inspired leadership.
