Dems for Snyder worry GOP(MI-Gov)

[SpartanDem]

Democrats seem to like the Republican choice for governor more than Republicans do. That could be a problem for a state GOP intent on controlling the Legislature, picking up congressional seats and hanging on to key statewide offices.

Republican Rick Snyder proved in Tuesday's primary that he has significant Democratic support. They like him because he reminds them of former Gov. Bill Milliken -- a moderate without strong partisan DNA.

By contrast, they've found little to extol in their own candidate, the bombastic Lansing Mayor Virg Bernero.

But every silver lining is sewn into a black cloud. Republican leaders are worried Snyder could draw to the polls Democrats who might have stayed home rather than vote for Bernero. After pulling the lever for Snyder, those Democrats will return to their party for the rest of the ballot

At the same time, conservative Republicans are lukewarm toward Snyder because he reminds them, too, of Bill Milliken. Unlike disillusioned Democrats who are comfortable voting for Snyder, disappointed Republicans have nowhere else to go. So they may stay home.

Based on my past experience with him, I wouldn't trust a thing he says...

He's a Republican shill.

3. Calling himself a nerd hardly reveals who he is and he has yet to do that w/voters.

Rick Snyder? Who's Rick Snyder? A self described nerd and business man. Every ham with an ebay account could do the same.

4. Bernero is a real Democrat---not a centrist. The interview I watched

with Snyder---he is still a Republican.Wants to run
the government like a business. I believe we had experience
with running gov't like a business --GWB.

My fellow Democrats never cease to amaze me.
