250 Days until Election Day
MORNING UPDATE:
I had an opportunity to host the “Big Show” yesterday on Michigan’s Talk Radio statewide. My special guests included Newt Gingrich, Attorney General Mike Cox, Dick DeVos, Grover Norquist – President of Americans for Tax Reform, Professor Raymond Tanter of UM and First Gentleman Dan Mulhern..
It was a lot of fun…a new challenge for me that team at the Big Show made go much easier than planned. In talking about areas covered by their broadcast, I was able to slip in there the names of Joel Westrom from Marquette, Joan Jackson from Traverse City and Jack Hoogendyk from Kalamazoo.
Long time Ingham County GOP activist Murray Schoen passed away this week. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
In 2005, conservative columnist George Will said: "Without Bill Buckley, no National Review. Without National Review, no Goldwater nomination. Without the Goldwater nomination, no conservative takeover of the Republican Party. Without that, no Reagan. Without Reagan, no victory in the Cold War. Therefore, Bill Buckley won the Cold War."
Former U.S. Congresswoman Geraldine Ferraro will appear with Weekly Standard Editor Bill Kristol for the annual dinner and breakfast for the Michigan Political Leadership Program (MPLP), the nation’s leading training ground for political service and leadership.
MPLP’s 13th annual fundraising dinner is Thursday, March 6 at Laurel Manor in Livonia. It will be followed on Friday, March 7 by the 6th annual fundraising breakfast at Noto’s Old World Italian Dining in Grand Rapids. Dinner is set for 6 p.m. Breakfast begins at 7:30 a.m.
