Default Granholm Endorses Clinton for President

Gov. Granholm has just announced her endorsement for Hiliary Clinton for President. Do you think, given Michigan's economic struggle and recent government shut-down threat, that this endorsement will be a help, or a hinderance, to the Clinton campaign? Or will it have no effect at all?

I say no effect.

In my experience, if a politician loses all public support, their endorsements are more ignored than reviled.

In this state it could really hurt old Hillary. My question is, would having the Clintons back in office help or hurt Michigan?

Moonbats of a feather, flock together. I'm surprised Clinton would want Granholm's endorsement, seeing as how Granholm's popularity is almost as bad as Bush's.

With how Clinton approves outsourcing of jobs I can't imagine anyone in Mi wanting her as President.

They might just think back to the last time the family was in the White House and remember that we all had jobs and hadn't yet lost half our retirement savings, and the government was solvent, and all that unimportant fluff.

I never will understand why any politician would endorse any other politician or candidate for president. I my opinion, they should be silent and let their constituents decide for themselves.

I hate it how celebrities and politicians throw out there who they are endorsing. As if they have people who live and die on what their choices are, and do what ever they say is right.

Its Granholm's own opinion that Hillary is the right candidate. With all of the taxes she wants to enforce, and the outsourcing of jobs she backs, I do not understand how Granholm thinkks that is what Michigan needs right now.

F.Y.I. I was working at a financial services company last week, and overheard the two owners talking about how they are going to start recommending certain changes to their clients about where they are investing their money. The reason is, there is a big fear that this congress, and if Hillary gets elected, they will be highly taxing certain types of retirement investments.

I heard that Granholm was a possible VP candidate. Not that this would ever happen, but can you imagine watching the State of the Union Address and seeing three women standing up there (Clinton, Granholm, and Pilosi)? That is a scary thought.
