“This administration is populated by people who’ve spent their careers bashing government. They’re not just small-government conservatives—they’re Grover Norquist, strangle-it-in-the-bathtub conservatives. It’s a cognitive disconnect for them to be able to do something well in an arena that they have so derided and reviled all these years.”

MI: Gov, Senate look good

The election is still more than a year away, but Michigan Democrats got good news from EPIC/MRA:
Gov. Jennifer Granholm's job rating this month dipped below 50 percent for the first time since she took office in January 2003, but she still holds a 20-point lead over Republican challenger Dick DeVos.

In the U.S. Senate race, Democratic incumbent Debbie Stabenow of Lansing held even larger leads against her two potential GOP challengers.

Stabenow led the Rev. Keith Butler of Troy 49 percent to 25 percent, with 26 percent undecided. She led Jerry Zandstra, a Cutlerville resident on leave from his jobs as a minister and as program director of a Grand Rapids-area think tank, 50 percent to 22 percent, with 28 percent undecided.

It's especially nice to see Stabenow close to or at the 50% threshold in her re-election bid.
