I'd bet you can't pick which one of the three is our State Senator.

OK, for all of you Ingham County NON-political junkies out there:  if you didn't know who to vote for in your state legislative race in November and wanted to base it just on looks alone - well, you're in luck.  

Indeed, earlier this month, that sizzling hot international skin mag, Maxim, named our very own State Senator Gretchen Whitmer as the 8th Hottest Politician... IN THE WORLD.  Whitmer may be no Sarah Palin (#2 on the list), but would you rather live in  Alaska or Michigan?  Of course, it's tough to top Maxim's #1 international political hottie Mara Car****na of the Italian Chamber of Deputies (former tv host, model, and showgirl).  

I know the Senator (and I know her husband better -- sorry, she's married with children).  Sen. Whitmer serves on the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee for Higher Education and is a staunch advocate for enhanced state appropriations to our colleges.  She's been an outspoken advocate of prioritizing higher education and reducing the tuition burden on families and students. She recognizes how (and why) colleges should be supported to take the lead to enhance Michigan's place in the knowledge generation.  So, she's on our side.  

All politics outside, yes, she's got the looks you want to know better... And, why do so many politicians have to be old, stuffy and crotchety, and male?  There's plenty of good looks to go with the brains out there.  There's nothing wrong with populating our people's houses with great looking people.  It's good to know that the Michigan State University community and Ingham county are international trend-setters.

Thank you for serving, Gretchen!  We'll repeal term limits to keep you in office...
