Michigan alumnus wins governors race

<p>Congrats to Rick Snyder! Not too shabby for a guy who graduated from Michigan with a degree in general studies. I guess it’s not as a bad major as the now defunct Ann Arbor News made it out to be a few years ago. </p>

<p>“Mr. Snyder was born in Battle Creek, Michigan and studied at the University of Michigan, where he earned a Bachelor of General Studies with high distinction in 1977, then a Masters of Business Administration at the University of Michigan’s Business School with distinction in 1979, and a Juris Doctor in 1982. He completed his third degree at the age of 23.”</p>

<p>Too bad he is Republican! ;)</p>

<p>Thank God he is a Republican!</p>

<p>Dang it! Another Republican! Ah, who cares, they are Wolverines just the same. Go Blue!!!</p>

<p>As one who helped vote Justin Amash into office yesterday, I can’t wait to see how he uses his home-grown U of M education to help better our country! He is seen as a bit of a rising star in the republican party.</p>

<p>Wow. I had no idea Alexandre was a liberal.</p>

<p>I am not liberal kobudnik, nor am I conservative. I am pro death penalty and believe in very tough justice in general. On the other hand, I am socialist and I tend to have a
“live and let live” social attitude (pro-choice, pro gay marriage, anti-war etc…), but in other ways, I can be quite “conservative”.</p>

<p>Really surprised Snyder won by so much.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Definitely could have told you he leaned Democrat.</p>

<p>^I’m not. Michiganians have had 8 years of a Democrat for governor and were obviously unimpressed by Gov. Granholm’s work. The same thing happened in the House, (almost) the Senate, and many other levels of state government.</p>

<p>um… you guys all missed the real story</p>

<p>Jon Runyan won a House spot for New Jersey… not bad for a 14 year O Lineman for the eagles</p>

<p>For a “liberal” school, we sure produce many Republican politicians.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Haha yea when I heard he was running I was like, “Wait, the Eagle?” Double trouble- a republican AND an Eagle.</p>

<p>and thank god that crazy O’Donnel lady lost. IDC if you are Rep or Dem or whatever but if you honestly think scientists have put full working human brains in mice you are ■■■■■■■■ and don’t deserve to be in government</p>
