By all means, vote this November.

But I can't stress this fact enough, there are candidates for offices that the MSM feels you do not need to know about. A listing can be found at this link.

For the record, based on their actions to date, there are no fundamental differences between Synder or Bernero. I fully expect Snyder to take, what he'll most likely label as pragmatic, approach to addressing next year's already $1.6-billion deficit (i.e. raise taxes).

And if you want candidate whom you will not be "holding your nose" when you vote, I highly recommend checking out this candidate.

Justice Robert Young - Supreme Court. If you stay home and not vote because of Snyder, we lose in the courts. Young is one of the best there is.

Judge Mary Beth Kelly - She's solid and has the support of what was considered the best court in the country. Justices Young, Markman, Taylor, and Corrigan. I don't usually listen to endorsements much, but those matter to me.

Joe Hune and Bill Rogers - Joe was an excellent state rep and will be a good senator. Bill's doing a good job on appropriations fighting the good fight.

Ruth Johnson has fought corruption. Jocelyn Benson will enable it.

Mitch Lyons and Brian Breslin will be good additions to the MSU board of trustees.

Mike Rogers voted against TARP twice (despite Bush), Stimulus, and the health care bill.
