The Great Debate

With three weeks to go before the Nov. 2 election, Virg Bernero and Rick Snyder participated in their first side-by-side interview tonight for the job of Michigan governor. Bernero, the Democratic mayor of Lansing, came out with guns blazing and attacked Snyder for outsourcing jobs at Gateway Computers, painting a picture of the Republican businessman from Ann Arbor as an out-of-touch millionaire who looks out for himself first. This was the scene before and after the debate (no photography was allowed during). Read my story here. My colleague Nathan Bomey from AnnArbor.com covered the business angle. Read his story here.
