I will be voting for Virg. His record as mayor of Lansing, creating thousands of jobs, cannot be ignored, as well as the fact that every Lansing budget was not only balanced but without creating any new taxes (appeasing the raising taxes = death crowd). He is going to be creating incentives for the creation/enlargment of small businesses. (All info taken from [Lansing Economic Development Corporation](http://www.lansingedc.com), if anyone is wondering.) Rick Snyder would still be more moderate than many Republican choices, but I’m definitely going with proven experience on this one. ---

I think _actually wanting_ to be Governor of this burning ship is conclusive proof of lack of sufficient mental faculties to be qualified to govern. ---

Republicans whined incessantly about the SBT, though they conveniently neglected to address it during the Engler years. SBT goes out, MBT goes in, and what changed? Now the MBT is the Mother of All Evil and MUST be replaced. Same pig, different earrings. ---
