What gets me is the "do-nothing" tag.  She has a record she can point to, and it largely conforms to her "big picture" voting promises.  Most every politician says a bunch of crap they want to do.  Then, reality and changing conditions hit, and my key is to sort out if key promises get lost in the shuffle.  For a hoot or good cry, read Bush's promises in 2000.  DeVos was talking "a billion here, a billion there"-type tax cuts, but now admits he really can't do much in this particular area (and of course, still doesn't say how he'd fill in the gap for deficits he'd cause, but that's SOP for the GOP these days):

Maybe that "do-nothing" slant comes from her having been hamstrung on so many fronts.  I really don't think people 'get' how screwed up other branches of government are around here.  The Republican state legislature is incompetent when not malignant.  Key negotiated-upon clauses in bills get lost or mangled.  At first, Granholm would accuse them on playing politics, and they'd say it was just an accident or mistake.  The more it'd come up though, the more they make mistakes neither side would've wanted, the more it became clear they simply weren't on the ball.  They're young to their districts and their jobs owing to term limits.  But, owing to jerrymandering, few are in danger of losing their jobs which is.  And don't get me started about Engler crowd in the judiciary -- a bunch of petty Scalia wanna-bes.  But, we don't get much news coverage about this stuff, and most every incumbent is safe.  

Maybe it just comes from people who expect our governor to take over the Big Three if they act like idiots again and again, who've given up on market after market for short-term stock price gain.  What do you do if you're the #1 and #2 lending institutions in the world?  You stop doing as much of that so you can focus on "core business".  What foresight!
