    Will the FBI turn up improprieties surrounding Mitt's National Finance Co-Chairmen, John Rakolta?

    Could the questions that now surround the Wayne County Business Development Corporation be a factor?  Who really knows for sure where this whole mess will lead.

    Sure are some strange bedfellows though...

Prior to his election to the Senate, Randy spent three terms in the Michigan House of Representatives from 1999-2004. He held a leadership position in the House in each of his terms.

    Prior to being elected to office, Randy worked in the business community - with 20 years of experience in Fortune 500 companies.

    Hmmmm, and it was just on October 18 we all went through this.

    "People expect the FBI to step in and do their job, but I would also say it's possibly a missed opportunity for this state government and for us in Lansing to have shown that there is something that is there in our state that needs some looking in to, that we be willing to do it," said Olumba.

    Indeed Rep. Olumba.  Hey, you know something Rep. Olumba, I was just thinking that maybe what happened to your request is...

    No.  Not saying.  Just saying... what if?
