Oakland County Sheriff and Republican Gubernatorial candidate Mike Bouchard announced yesterday that he has selected two-term Secretary of State Terry Lynn Land for his 2010 running mate. Both our pro-family leaders in our state, and both have been successful in cutting their office budgets without slashing jobs. Land's Secretary of State offices are now the epitome of efficiency (I know from experience) and Bouchard's Oakland County Sherriff's office has been one of the most successful in the nation.
I'm not sure yet who I'm going to vote for. Attorney General Mike Cox is my favorite at this point, and I still haven't forgiven Bouchard for lampooning Keith Butler's 2006 bid for U.S. Senate. My feelings may soften before 2010, however.
Land dropped out of the race for Governor and immediately endorsed Bouchard, but this early announcement is interesting, given that it will be almost a year before 2010 when the state GOP convention nominates a candidate.
