The Great Debate – Granholm versus DeVos Round 2

by Andrew on October 11, 2006

Well the second debate took place last night between current governor Jennifer Granholm and her Republican challenger, Dick DeVos. I am not a betting man, but if I were I would have to bet that more people watched the Detroit Tigers win Game 1 of the ALCS than who watched the debate.

Well, if you didn’t watch the debate (hey I’ll be honest – I watched the Tigers) you apparently did not miss much. More mudslinging and rhetoric was thrown from both podiums.

There really is nothing new to bring to the table for voters from this debate. These two candidates are supposed to be showing why they deserve our votes. Unfortunately, these debates are most likely turning away more voters than getting people interested in the voting process.

I hate to say it, but this looks like an election where people will choose the lesser of two evils as neither candidate has expounded on their theories as to how to bring Michigan back from the brink.

According to our great governor, “in five years, we are going to be blown away.” Doesn’t that make you want to vote for her? I want to know why we have to wait five years. She should have started making a difference by now… Our schools are not getting the funding they need, jobs are leaving our state, and she is overpaid. I’m not impressed.
