#5 I have to think this vile specimen is now the favorite for Veep consideration.

She clearly has the raging ambition and unscrupulousness needed to steamroll her rivals.

#6 ...the decision coming amid armed protests outside her home and the threat of a mutiny by state politicians.

Mostly the 'armed protests' is my bet. Keep up the protests, Michigan Militia.

#7 Penn and Teller might add, "it's easy to scare an idiot". But #3 ^ WTF?!

God willing Biden has her as if VP runaway mate.

#10 She did nothing and deserves no credit! All that happened was that she oh so generously stopped trying to enforce the widely ignored extra restrictions that she threw over the state about a week ago. The state legislature is still, by the way, going to go after her. The State Senate and House are passing laws and forming oversight committees that she will have to veto to hold onto her petty tyranny. Of course, she has already stated that she will veto ANYTHING THAT TAKES AWAY ANY POWER FROM HER.

Self righteous, smarmy, horrid bi*ch.

#11 Absolute scum of the earth. The Bitch of Ann Arbor. I hope they keep up the pressure up there in Michigan, where appropriate.

#12 The voters asked for it, and they are getting it good and hard. They will ask for more of the same and all the rest of us can do is not buy MI products.

Go Buckeyes!

#14 Probably, kids voting at Michigan State are all in for her.

#16 Only reason Ohio didn't join the Confederacy is it would have been work.

#17 I believe it is near the top of states with the most regulations, etc. But, come on, nothing compares to this whack job in Michigan.

#18 #16 Ohio had the large following of Copperheads in the Union, but it also supplied the most men to fill the ranks of the Union Army.

#19 Mostly the 'armed protests' is my bet.

IMHO, the armed protest was just a sideshow to the main event - the "Operation Gridlock" protest. It is difficult to get numbers since the media focused hard on the armed protests, but there were a *yuge* number of vehicles on the capitol streets.

Also four county sheriffs in the surrounding area here have created a firestorm by announcing that they would be using common sense in enforcing the Gov's orders and would not be violating anyone's Constitutional rights. Some people were quite upset by this.

Bottom line: there is a lot of grass-roots opposition to the governor's orders. She has since walked back some of the sillier restrictions. I don't know whether she is getting better advice or just figured that it is easier to ride a horse in the direction.

I still think she is the perfect running mate for Biden. Take our Governor, please!

#20 No, SteveS, please, no.
If the resurrection voters and "Let me help you fill it in" mail-in ballots carry the day, Biden can win. And then who will be running the show?
