Michigan For Granholm

Democratic Governor Jennifer Granholm is in a tight race for re-election. Her opponent, Dick DeVos, is an extremely wealthy individual who will be dumping much of his Amway fortune into his race for Governor.

Polls have been neck and neck and it likely will remain that way until election day 2006. The latest poll from Detroit News/WXYZ-TV poll has Granholm up only four percentage points.

From the poll:

The lead is Granholm’s first since February, when DeVos started a nonstop TV ad barrage that to date has cost him more than $10 million. The Granholm campaign has yet to air a commercial, but the Democratic Party has spent more than $2 million on ads on her behalf.

Detroit News/WXYZ pollster Ed Sarpolus said the June launch of Democratic Party ads and recent news that Google Inc. and other companies will bring jobs to Michigan have combined to boost the governor’s campaign.

“People are starting to hear the other side,” Sarpolus said. “Is she out of trouble? No. She’s still under 50 percent support. But the trends show she has to tell her story.”

Good luck Governor, we’re pulling for you! Please visit Granholm’s website today and do all you can to help keep Michigan blue!
