UM: Campaigning

The Detroit Free Press reports on the place of political messages at Saturday’s Michigan/Michigan State football game. With over 100,000 fans crowding into Ann Arbor, both political parties are campaigning. GOP gubernatorial candidate Rick Snyder, a UM alumnus and Ann Arbor resident, will be attending the game, along with secretary of state candidate Ruth Johnson and attorney general candidate Bill Schuette. Democratic attorney general candidate David Leyton will also be at the game, but his spokesperson notes, “[I]t’s a time when people are distracted with other things.” [Source]
