This is the second big victory for McCain in the battleground state of
Michigan this week (the first was Jim Nicholson- fundraiser
extraordinaire). Senator Jason Allen, Senator Pattie Birkholtz, Senator
Alan Cropsey, Senator Tom George, Senator Mike Goschka, Senator Wayne
Kuipers, Senator Ron Jelinek, Senator Michelle McManus, Senator Laura
Toy, and Senator Gerald Van Woerkom today signed on to Straight Talk
Express in Michigan.
Notably, five of these are officers of the Michigan State Senate.
Looking ahead, Jason Allen is rumored to be the favorite for Senate
Majority Leader in Michigan next year. Conservative Kalamazoo
native Tom George, known for being a Doctor as well as a Senator (and
an amateur historian on the side), is also especially well-known and
well-liked throughout the state. In fact, every senator on this
list is known for being conservative and popular.
What does this mean? It means conservatives in Michigan are making up their mind for ’08, and it’s McCain.
