HEY MICHIGAN! CHERRY IS THE ONE!

It is a loss to Michigan to lose Governor Grandholm but it will happen. Looking to the future continued great leadership is on horizon.

A Genesee County native and favorite son Lt. Gov. John D. Cherry Jr. Will be governor in 2010.! That is my prediction. Why? Because this state needs him.

We have a nation that needs tried an true public sector professionals with vison at the helm. John Cherry is the one. We need a coalition builder that can bring our Michigan leadership together. John Cherry is the one.

The families of Michigan need a guardian at the helm in Michigan to protect their children education, the value of their homes and their retirement. John Cherry is the one.

John,Pam,Bob and I came up together in Genesee County. We have not always been on the same side. As an adversary he conducts him self with a focused intensity, fair but firm and decisive.

These are characteristic I want in a Governor. How about you?

John Cherry comes from rock solid Democratic stock out of Vienna Township.

He announced Thursday that he has formed a gubernatorial committee. “Cherry has been Gov. Jennifer Granholm's No. 2 since becoming her running mate in 2002. Granholm can't run for re-election in 2010 because of term limits.”

“Cherry served in the state House from 1983-86 and in the state Senate from 1987-2002. The Democrat was Senate minority leader from 1995-2002 and has close ties to organized labor.”

“As lieutenant governor, Cherry headed a task force that led to the creation of a plan to double the number of college graduates and was a key negotiator during the 2007 struggle to raise taxes and balance the state budget.”

“As lieutenant governor, Cherry could have a leg up on other Democrats in a primary.”

“Other Democrats who have expressed interest in a 2010 race include

Flint Mayor Don Williamson, [no way]

Macomb County Sheriff Mark Hackel [ he has some real skeltons in his closet],

Wayne County Executive Robert Ficano [pretty boy without a prayer] and

former Michigan State football coach and current university trustee George Perles. [go MICHIGAN]

Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson [ GIVE ME A BREAK THIS GUY IS ONE STEP FROM ASSISTED LIVING]is expected to announce this weekend that he's considering a run for the 2010 GOP nomination.

Other possible Republican candidates include

Secretary of State Terri Lynn Land [cannot do her current job],

Attorney General Mike Cox [skipped most of law school],

businessman David Brandon, [one of the great business minds thanks for the recession]

Reps. Pete Hoekstra [wanna bee],

Mike Rogers[wanna bee] and

Candice Miller [wanna bee]and

Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard [gun toting Nethanderal].”

We are at an economic, social cross roads in America.

History teaches us that our leaders do matter.

John Cherry will make a positive difference his term as Governor will matter, we will be better off for it.

John Cherry has my full unreserved enthusiastic endorsement to be our next Governor of Michigan.
