Just browsing the net and came across this bit about Michigan Governor Rick Snyder and his most rapid fall from grace among the states voters.
Over the last few weeks we've found that voters in Ohio and Wisconsin have quickly soured on their new Republican Governors, John Kasich and Scott Walker respectively. But Michigan's Rick Snyder wasn't like Kasich and Walker. He campaigned as a moderate and won by 18 points in a state bluer than either Ohio or Wisconsin while his counterparts were just squeaking by in their races. You would think that even if Snyder's popularity has fallen after two months in office it hasn't fallen as far as Kasich and Walker's.
Think again. Snyder actually now has the worst numbers of this new trio of GOP Governors, with only 33% of voters approving of him to 50% who disapprove. And despite his overwhelming victory last fall voters now say that if they could do it over they'd pick Virg Bernero over Snyder by a 47-45 margin. Snyder's current status is definitely emblematic of the adage that the higher you climb the farther you fall.
With Michigan being such a blue state, one has to wonder how much booze the Democrat voters drank before they went to the voting booths to pick a Republican Taliban member as their next Governor. All that they had to do was to look down south towards Florida to see what happens when Dem voters pick Republicans to run a state.
