As we know, Democrat Jennifer Granholm-- Michigan's first female governor--is finishing her second term and is prohibited by Michigan's constitution to seek a third. So who's next? That's what makes the 2010 general election so exciting.
We're on the cusp of a lot of changes as a state, and as a nation. A lot of people have a LOT of complaints about the current state of the... state. From economic woes to heartbreaking environmental disasters, it's more important than ever to really speak up, to really use our voices and our rights to make a difference.
As America is increasingly polarized into bloodthirsty Hawks and apathetic Doves, our generation needs to be the one to rise up as a voice of reason. Why quibble in petty partisan arguments when we can elect the BEST candidate for the job-- whoever he or she may be, and whatever party affiliation he or she might have-- based on his or her past, platforms, and aptitude.
Without further ado, your candidates (and VERY brief histories of each).
