Charles Snyder, Bernero turn their focus to November Gov race pits GOP's tough nerd against Dems' angriest mayor Mark Hornbeck / Detroit News Lansing Bureau Michigan's race for governor will be a matchup of opposites: Democratic Lansing Mayor Virg Bernero, the experienced politico who has held four different public offices, against Republican Ann Arbor businessman Rick Snyder, the entrepreneur who has never held elective office. Bernero coasted past House Speaker Andy Dillon in Tuesday's Democratic primary while Snyder bested four opponents. Snyder, 51, is a soft-spoken, almost shy Battle Creek native who calls himself "one tough nerd." He sailed through the University of Michigan with three degrees, found work as an accountant, ran Gateway computers and then became a successful venture capitalist. >From The Detroit News: http://detnews.com/article/20100804/POLITICS02/8040370/Snyder--Bernero-turn-their-focus-to-November#ixzz0vdyd685w _______________________________________________ Marxism-Thaxis mailing list Marxism-Thaxis@lists.econ.utah.edu To change your options or unsubscribe go to: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/listinfo/marxism-thaxis
