Cox is currently running his own law practice, just saw an ad for it the other day. (One of multiple aiming to appeal to those suffering from the effects of Camp Lejeune, though his own ad also points out his having served there in the Marine Corps.)
Calley is currently president + CEO of the Small Business Association of Michigan.
Re: What a circus (MI GOP Convention)...
That's the problem with politics in general.
Conservatives can have a successful career and make a lot of money outside of government.
Liberals? Not so much. Government IS their path to fortune.

Re: What a circus (MI GOP Convention)...
This probably would've been a good year for Brian Calley to seek the nomination. With James Craig out of contention, he would've made a good "consensus" candidate.
An argument can also be made that Tom Leonard should've sought to run for Governor as opposed to AG.
Plenty of wealthy liberals out there. Look at how the ultra wealthy enclaves of California and Massachusetts generally vote. Jeff Bezos isn't a Republican, last time I checked. Warren Buffett as well.

Morgan Wallen is a piece of garbage.
Re: What a circus (MI GOP Convention)...
Calley should have run and convinced Craig to be his running mate. Calley could have done ONE term and then handed the reigns over to Craig.

Re: What a circus (MI GOP Convention)...
That would've been a very good ticket, but swearing to serve only one term is too high a price to pay just to secure a running mate.

Re: What a circus (MI GOP Convention)...
And a lot of folks wouldn’t keep the promise. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin put himself in this boat and he’s running for re-election anyways.MWmetalhead wrote: ↑Fri Sep 09, 2022 2:41 pmThat would've been a very good ticket, but swearing to serve only one term is too high a price to pay just to secure a running mate.
Re: What a circus (MI GOP Convention)...
I don't think any Republican, no matter how strong, could beat Whitmer right now. This is akin to Obama in 2012. He was popular enough that he was destined to win re-election no matter who the Republicans put up.
Why she's as popular as she is I'll never understand. Even as recent as 20 years ago, anyone who ruled over a pandemic the way she did would have been sent packing.

Re: What a circus (MI GOP Convention)...
I think the reversal of Roe v. Wade really tipped the scales in the Dems' favor in purple states like Michigan.
The Democrats won the special U.S. House election in Alaska for Don Young's former seat a couple weeks ago. If the Democrats can win a statewide race in Alaska, and in particular, a Congressional seat that had been in Republican hands for nearly five decades, I'd say the Republicans are in trouble come November.

Re: What a circus (MI GOP Convention)...
I believe so, The Right had been trying to catch the carrot for 50 years on the abortion issue. They clenched it at last but as the saying goes " The spoils go to the winners" . I wouldn't say this will be a Democratic party sweep like 2006 and 2008 was but I do believe overall this could be very much a split decision.MWmetalhead wrote: ↑Sat Sep 10, 2022 7:58 pmI think the reversal of Roe v.

I do hope Michigan does uphold abortion rights and voting rights on election day this fall.
The Grand Old Party's Senatorial candidates are dreadful overall, so the chances of The Senate changing party leaders does not look favourable .
I do think The Democrats will retain possibly all the governorships they currently have and maybe add a couple. Arizona looks to be the strongest possibility. I'd love to see Ronald McDonald Desantis bested in FL. The Democrat nominee for governor in Pennsylvania has picked up some Republican support, I think The Democrats will keep that governorship.
The US house, that's really the big question.

Re: What a circus (MI GOP Convention)...
I think this ticket would have beat Gretchen. I could deal with Calley provided that he could distance himself from tricky Rick.
They/them, non-binary and proud.
Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.
The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.
Audacity sucks.

Everybody liked Calley.
Ask not what your country can do FOR you; ask what they are about to do TO YOU!!
