DON'T THEY KNOW DEMOCRATS SAVED THE AUTO INDUSTRY?:

Poll: GOP's Snyder is winning over voters (CHRIS CHRISTOFF, 8/27/10, FREE PRESS)

Republican Rick Snyder's 22-percentage point lead over Democrat Virg Bernero in their race for governor comes with overwhelming support from independent and outstate voters.

Snyder leads Bernero, 51%-29%, according to a poll by EPIC/MRA released exclusively to the Free Press and WXYZ-TV Channel 7. Snyder even has a slim lead among Bernero's most natural constituency -- union members and their families.
