Heavens to Betsy
November 05, 2004
Well, finally, a bout of rationality within the state GOP. Betsy DeVos is stepping down as chair! While, in reality, she is a nice woman and has done a few good things for the party (erased over a million dollars in debt that the state party had incurred in the past), she has been instramental in causing more than a few public fights with Governor Granholm. These fights, in my estimation, have never been won, and only caused the GOP to look worse than it already does on this side of the state (Ann Arbor and more).
We need a new state chair who realizes that picking fights over relatively meaningless issues will not cause the east-siders to vote Republican. Michigan once again went to the Democrats in the Presidential race, and if that’s going to change, we need smarter GOP politicians.

And it isn't even an East-West divide as much as it is urban-rural/smalltown (with the suburbs spilt). Check out a county-by-county (or better yet city/township) map of who went Kerry vs. who went Bush.
