foolmenot.comI’ve said it before, Perception is Reality, Reality is Perception; it is [the] truism on the mind of every politician- It doesn’t matter if what you say is true, it only matters if what you say is believed!
No one believes in this more than Liberals. No one is better at it than Liberals! They believe deep in their heart that they know better what is good for you, than you… They will tell you, when pressed, that it is OK to lie as long as it’s for the greater good; greater good is defined in feelings, never in reason!
In the article below the writers say;
“the re-election of Democratic incumbent Jennifer Granholm will depend in large measure on the voters' [perception] of the state economy”
The use of the word, “perception” in the article is appropriate. What is not appropriate is for Jennifer Granholm to be re-elected giving false perceptions.
If all you have is a record of failure and the ability to spend tax dollars to garner votes, and you are a Liberal, you do what you have to do; don’t you?=

WASHINGTON — With gubernatorial elections in 36 states this fall, experts see an opportunity for Democrats to rebuild their party in Republican-leaning states and, in the process, gain an edge in the 2008 presidential contest.
"These are going to be very important races for the Democrats going into '08," said Jennifer Duffy, who tracks governors races for the Cook Political Report. Increasing the ranks of Democratic governors, at the very least, is going to have "some psychological importance after years of being behind the ball," she added in an interview.
Republicans concede that the GOP faces an uphill battle in this year's statehouse contests. "The math is not in our favor this year," Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney has repeatedly acknowledged to reporters since becoming chairman of the Republican Governors' Association, the organization that promotes Republican interests in gubernatorial events.
The math is this: of the 36 governorships on the ballot in November, 22 are currently held by Republicans. And seven of those Republican governors are retiring, are prohibited by state law from serving another term or are simply not seeking to stay in office.
In Michigan, the re-election of Democratic incumbent Jennifer Granholm will depend in large measure on the voters' perception of the state economy, which has been hit hard by layoffs in the automotive industry. Michigan has the fourth highest jobless rate in the nation, at 6.7 percent, well above the national rate of 4.9 percent. Whether Granholm should be blamed for that will be open to debate over the next nine months as businessman Dick DeVos, with no opposition so far, seeks to rally Republicans against the incumbent.
