Anuzis to Campaign for Granholm
Saulius “Saul” Anuzis announced over the weekend that he will leave his position as Chairman of the Michigan Republican Party. Effective immediately, he will begin campaigning full-time for Democratic Governor Jennifer M. Granholm’s re-election.
Okay – that’s not totally true.
Anuzis is still Chairman of the Michigan Republican Party, but – for all practical purposes – he did start working for the Granholm campaign over the weekend.
For the past couple of weeks, the Granholm campaign has been airing ads that attempted to link Republican gubernatorial candidate Dick DeVos’ decision to layoff Michigan workers at Amway to his subsequent opening of a factory in China; implying that those Michigan jobs were sent to China by DeVos.
Anuzis was the latest person to join in the fray by issuing a statement regarding the DeVos/Amway/China connection. In doing so, he kept DeVos’ decision to layoff Michigan workers at an Amway factory in the news cycle. The fundamental problem with this whole thing, and the thing that the Granholm camp is undoubtedly trying to capitalize on, is that any connection to Amway ultimately hurt DeVos.
DeVos promised millions of people a better way of life by becoming independent distributors for Amway. In fact, most people in Michigan know someone who bought into DeVos’ Amway promises and worked hard as one of his Amway distributors – only to be left with nothing to show for their troubles than a few cases of soap.
This November, voters in the Great Lakes State will have to decide whether or not they can trust DeVos to deliver on his promises. If the connection between DeVos, Amway and China is still being debated on Election Day then Granholm can start practicing her second inaugural address.
