A2: Governor’s Race

The Michigan Truth Squad site analyzes a commercial for the campaign of Ann Arbor’s Rick Snyder, who’s seeking the GOP nomination for governor. The post calls a claim that Snyder is “the only businessman running” questionable, noting that three other Republican candidates have a business background. “Snyder wants so hard to be seen as the only non-politician in the campaign that he ignores that several of his opponents also have at least some business experience. Interestingly, one could argue that Snyder has at least some ‘political’ experience, being appointed by former Gov. John Engler as the first chair of the Michigan Economic Development Corporation in 1999.” [Source]
