HELP WANTED IN MI! Need Progressive Charismatic WOMEN to run for Governor and Senate!!

Nothing irritates MI republicans more than uppity women who want to make their own choices
(remember "vagina-gate&quot , and workers who want an influence in the way they are treated in the workplace (remember Snyder bringing out the State Police STORMTROOPERS in riot gear on "Right to work for less" day).

Therefore the ideal candidates for those offices would be progressive women. Jennifer Granholm should come back with her fiery speeches to pummel the repukes who have tried to slime her reputation. Gretchen Whitmer would also be an awesome candidate with similar skills..though she has decided to place family first and forgo a race for governor. There have to be more women available who can pick up the torch....like Barb Byrum..and I know there are more..

Gary Peters may run and get my vote in the end if I have no other choice..but he isn't progressive or charismatic enough..and I can't see him highlighting the MI republican idiocy on women's issues. This has to be more than just campaigns for Governor and Senator.. It needs to be a CRUSADE against state republicans and their record and their idiocy.

Because the MI GOP record on women's issues is such a great target..and one they should be punished for..I think we need a woman to do it. And I think a democratic woman candidate will be stronger than any of the men we have right now. If this sounds sexist, please forgive me.. but I'm a guy and this is how I see it.
