Dick DeVos Officially Running For Governor
Gag..choke...accck! The thought of this man being elected makes me want to leave the state.

Mackinac Island - Dick DeVos is getting into the governor's race.

Michigan Republican Party Chairman Saul Anuzis says the southwestern Michigan businessman and a major G-O-P donor is a very strong candidate. The announcement came on the first day of the Detroit Regional Chamber's annual policy conference on Mackinac Island.

DeVos filed paperwork with the secretary of state's office to create an exploratory committee in March. It's the first step toward forming a full campaign committee.

Governor Granholm has not yet officially said she's running for re-election, but a "Granholm for Governor '' Web site urges supporters to donate their time and money to her campaign.

Governor Granholm's spokesperson Heidi Hansen said, "It's much to early to be talking about candidates. The Governor is completely focused on fighting for jobs, working to diversify the economy and pushing the legislature to take action on the plan she's put before them to help improve Michigan's economy. That's what were focused on."

A WZZM poll taken yesterday indicated a 62- 37 split in favor of Dick. Granted, that's right in the center of wingnut land here in Michigan. Time will tell.
