Mike Ilitch political leanings

Hi Everyone,

I was wondering if anyone knows the political leans of Mike Ilitch and his family? I know they do a lot for the Detroit community. I have also heard that they are strong Democrats, yet I have also heard that they donate a lot of money to Republicans. Could their donations to Republicans be due to the fact that they want to do a huge renovation of downtown Detroit? I am not to sure of the make up of the Michigan state house, but they have a Republican governor and I imagine that the state house is Republican as well.

Just curious. I am a big Red Wings and Tigers fan. I don't think that finding out he is a Republican will change my allegiances. It would just be a big disappointment to find that he is one.


Thanks!
