Final Words

Virg Bernero, Lansing's mayor and Michigan's Democratic nominee for governor, gave a pep talk at a Democratic Party campaign office in downtown Ypsilanti tonight on the eve of the election. Joined by attorney general candidate David Leyton, Supreme Court Justice Alton Thomas Davis and running mate Brenda Lawrence, Bernero said this is still an election about two different visions. "There are still those that believe if you take care of the people at the top — the folks that got the advantages — that eventually some of the good will trickle down," he said. "I don't know about you, but I'm tired of being trickled on." Read the story here.

And Justice For All

Newly appointed Michigan Supreme Court Justice Alton Davis and Oakland County Judge Denise Langford Morris, pictured here, were nominated for the high court without debate at the Michigan Democratic Party Nominating Convention. Since both had the support of organized labor, the two faced no opposition from the floor. The Republican Party nominated incumbent Justice Robert Young and Wayne County Judge Mary Beth Kelly. Langford Morris addressed a small crowd in Ann Arbor two days before the convention. Read about Langford Morris here.
