Snyder visits Central Michigan tailgate

Rick Snyder surprised Central Michigan University tailgaters Saturday afternoon when he stopped in lot 62 in his campaign bus, the “Nerd Mobile.”

The Republican gubernatorial candidate stopped in Mount Pleasant as part of his “One Chance” tour – his final campaign trail push before Election Day this Tuesday.

Mount Pleasant graduate student Aaron Evens said Snyder is “great.”

“We need less government, and more business sense,” Evens said. “Practicality is what we need.”

Snyder was joined by other statewide GOP candidates: U.S. Rep. Dave Camp, R-Midland, Rep. Brian Calley, R-Portland, lieutenant governor candidate, Bill Schuette, attorney general candidate, Ruth Johnson, secretary of state candidate, and Andrew Richner, running for reelection of the University of Michigan board of regents.

State Rep. Bill Caul, R-Mount Pleasant and his wife, former Rep. Sandy Caul were present with Kevin Cotter, the Republican candidate for the term-limited Caul.

Ben Greene, a Grand Rapids junior, followed the candidates around Lot 62 and watched them interact with CMU fans.

“I thought it was great, it’s really something else to see the amount of energy we have on campus right now, to see that many college students signing the bus was really something special for me, I think the energy around here is incredible, and I think we’re on our way to victory on Tuesday.”

The group of candidates began the day in Flint, visiting Frankenmuth and Midland before coming to Mount Pleasant. They end the day in Traverse City.

    Go Rick Snyder You will be a great governor

    This paragraph is confusing:

    Snyder was joined by other statewide GOP candidates: U.S. Rep. Dave Camp, R-Midland, Rep. Brian Calley, R-Portland, lieutenant governor candidate, Bill Schuette, attorney general candidate, Ruth Johnson, secretary of state candidate, and Andrew Richner, running for reelection of the University of Michigan board of regents.

    I can't tell who is running for what because of improper comma use.

    Additionally, “republican” should be capitalized in this paragraph and a comma is missing after Sandy Caul's name:

    State Rep. Bill Caul, R-Mount Pleasant and his wife, former Rep. Sandy Caul were present, with Kevin Cotter, the republican candidate for the term-limited Caul.

    Ek. Rick Snyder is a creepy vato. We got stuck behind his bus earlier and were trying to figure out how to sabotage it, but then remembered that we had to stop and pick up some sour cream. nerd. That guy has no idea what it's like to be poor and he doesn't really give a damn, either.

    Glad to have CMLife to provide us news of Republican candidates being in our town. The Morning Sun is no great shakes in keeping us informed. If a Democrat janitor in the state capitol dropped by for a cup of coffee it would probably make front page headlines. You are great and so is Rick Snyder and all the other people on his bus. He is definitely getting 2 votes from this household. Louise Cova, retired Secretary from CMU.

    Yeah Rachelanne23 a lot of people have no idea what it is to be poor and don't care.

    Funny how that's your complaint and then you talk about pulling a criminal act of sabotaging a bus.

    And vato? You realize you're in the midwest right?

    Rick Snyder is a moron.

    The Morning Sun is a liberal paper.

    Every major paper in the state—CM Life, Detroit News, the Free-Press, Kalamazoo Gazette, Grand Rapids Press—has endorsed Rick for Governor.

    We've lost a million jobs under Democrat rule (Granholm). Time for change. A Republican. Thanks CM LIFE for being a fair and balanced paper.

    “Every major paper in the state—CM Life, …”
    In a post full of jokes, this was my favorite.
