Initial impressions on the debate: Darkness vs. the Light

... for all of you who will be hitting this blog tonight. Or maybe you are watching the Tigers, who knows.

First of all, I tried to be objective. I really did. I was looking for something, anything solid out of DeVos.

All he did was attack Granholm, and attack Michigan. Right from his opening statement he set his theme, and that theme was "Granholm sucks". That's it. That's all he can say.

I heard no plans other than "cut taxes and increase spending". More repeated catch words, "change and leadership and tragic" being the ones that stick out. Spoke better this time, but still repeats talking points over and over and has no substance to anything he says. No vision whatsoever.

No health care plan AT ALL. Zippo. "Get a job" is his answer.

Walked right away from the Right to Life people. Threw them right under the bus. Wow. Total flip flop. Walked away from his support of vouchers, even though he is carrying on that fight in other states as we speak.

Granholm was very good- hit the economic plan right on the money, answered the questions put before her, was succinct ( because she had to be ;-) ) and, of course, was eloquent as usual. Rattled off the things she has accomplished, the plans that are in motion, and her vision for what this state will be in the future. Threw a few jabs, but stuck to talking issues and answering the questions.

Night and day.

Ask yourself Michigan- do you want the darkness, or do you want the light?

The choice presented to you tonight was obvious. Again.

Go see for yourself- WOOD has it up already.
