A2: Governor’s Race

The Detroit News reports on results from a poll that asked how “negative characteristics” might affect someone’s decision to vote for various gubernatorial candidates: “Republican Ann Arbor venture capitalist Rick Snyder could be damaged by Democratic Party claims he shipped jobs to China when he was a top executive at Gateway computer company, the survey indicates. It shows 84 percent would be less likely to vote for ‘a corporate CEO who shipped American jobs to China.’ Jake Suski, a spokesman for Snyder, replied: ‘Rick didn’t outsource jobs to China. In fact, he’s the only candidate with job creation experience. He created hundreds of jobs in Michigan.’ [Source]
