The poll comes in the wake of Governor Granholm\u2019s joke at last weekend\u2019s Gridiron Club dinner that her Alaska peer, and former vice presidential candidate, “really set back the cause of hot governors.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That’d be Jennifer Granholm…:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

…who’s a tax ‘n spend liberal who has the Detroit, the calamitous Michigan state budget, and (judging by the photo) messiah complex to show for it…<\/p>\n
