HILLARY CLINTON ROOM
Tim Skubick | Politics Columnist for MLive.com
Former Michigan Gov. Jim Blanchard is up to his eyeballs in the 'Hillary for President' effort and he has not lost his touch.
Asked for a one liner about GOP Presidential hopeful Ted Cruz, without missing a beat he blurted out, "He reminds me a lot of Joe McCarthy, including his voice." Bow. Bam.
The ex-governor and former First Lady, Janet, are both working for Hillary Clinton including a hosting a gig at the home of Democrat Denise Illitch last December.

He was a great governor of my state. Good to hear he's still fighting the good fight.

I would think it is because of her record and not just name recognition.
