    Picking The Winners.. A Reminder

    Of course EVERYONE knows some candidates will pay the way for supporters willing to take a little vacation on someone elses dime.. just so they have a little "straw poll" support not otherwise available.  As you pass the fold, we will return to this important part of the art of politics.

    First.. to back it up..

    My last post mentioned the Ardesta Money grab in which Rick Snyder as said "they just fill out the MEDC paperwork like anyone else", while claiming to be somewhat hands off.  Of course, as a matter of record:

    Veteran Investor Rick Snyder a Principal of Michigan-Based Fund

    Governor Jennifer M. Granholm and Michigan Economic Development Corporation President and CEO James C. Epolito today announced Michigan Strategic Fund board approval of an investment of up to $7.5 million through the Michigan 21st Century Investment Fund in the new Ardesta Ventures I, LP venture capital fund. The fund will focus on investments in nanotechnology, life sciences and alternative energy technology companies based in the Midwest.

    It seems a stretch that he was hands off in any manner.  Money is a motivator to be sure.  And as the news piles up on the failures of the MEDC to prove any valuable effect to the state, its future becomes a little cloudier.

    Unless of course Rick's money can buy him his coveted bucket list position.

    Remember, it was his (our) MONEY that brought this quality crew to the island..

    Snyder was the first chair of the MEDC.  And the MEDC picks "winners" right?  Some things are consistent throughout.

    Some things even speak for themselves..

    Winners ..indeed.

    What's good for the goose... (none / 0) (#1)

    Okay, let me get this straight...

    2006 = Nerds are bad.

    2010 = Nerds are good?

    WTF!?!?!?!

    Look, I voted for DeVos in '06 just because he clearly was the lessor of two evils, but I sure as hell didn't like him.  And, once again, the GOP side in this race is still just the lessor of two evils, and all with skeletons in their closets.

    As for the Democrats side of the gubernatorial race?  I'll let their Party's 'Poster Child' speak for itself.
