People who remember me or my blog, Blast Off!, from the old days (like, 2004) may recall that I moved back to Florida from Michigan about two and a half years ago. In fact, my political renaissance actually occurred in Michigan, where I was a lead volunteer for the Howard DeanMeetups in 2003-04. So, I like to check back periodically to see how things are going up in the Great Lakes State.
Besides Michigan State finally firing their ineffective football coach today, the big news is that Gov. Jennifer Granholm has widened her lead over GOP challenger Dick "Dick" DeVos, according to a new poll. She's now over that critical 50% mark with a 52-42 lead, up from 48-43 in the last poll.
Check out the garbage analysis from the pollster, though ... below the fold.
