	An interview with Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm \| By Keith Schneider \| Grist \| Main Dish \| 26 Oct 2004
		Granholm has actively accompanied the senator on swings through Michigan, and her husband, Daniel Mulhern, is co-chair of the Kerry-Edwards state campaign.
		The 45-year-old Granholm, who was born in Vancouver, British Columbia, raised in California, and educated at Berkeley and Harvard Law School, settled in Detroit in the late 1980s with her husband, also a Harvard-educated lawyer and a Michigan native son.
		Granholm's success in putting her ideas into motion in the face of immense state budget deficits -- in some instances with the actual assistance of a Republican-led legislature -- has made her the most popular governor since moderate Republican William G. Milliken in the 1970s.

	Finding the Truth in Granholm's Garble
		Granholm, who proclaims her Catholicism, says she would defend a woman's access to abortion and supports an increase in abortion clinics.
		In other words, Jennifer Granholm will veto any prolife legislation, and her first term as governor has seen this prediction come true all too often.
		In an article in FAITH Magazine, Granholm is quoted as saying that her central purpose is to be “the voice for the voiceless, and the advocate for those rendered powerless by forces beyond their control.” Clearly, being a “voice for the voiceless,” is not a goal for Granholm when unborn children are considered voiceless.

	Trent Wisecup on Jennifer Granholm on National Review Online
		Were it not for the fact that Granholm was born in Canada, she just might have been John Kerry's running mate in 2004, and certainly would be mentioned as a real contender to be the first woman president of the United States.
		Granholm has star power — but she may be the most overrated politician in America.
		Granholm will officially stay neutral in the mayoral primary, but behind the scenes her people, especially her money friends, will get pulled in the direction of supporting Hendrix, who will be viewed in Michigan Democratic circles as the more adult choice.

		Forty five-year-old Jennifer Granholm is a political natural — a media-savvy pragmatist who has achieved soaring public-approval numbers even as she presides over a state with one of the highest unemployment rates in the nation.
		With a law degree from Harvard in her pocket, Granholm cut her political teeth in Detroit as the lawyer and political protégé of Ed McNamara, then boss of Wayne County's Democratic machine and one of the state's most powerful politicians.
		On this score, Granholm may have committed her most ignoble act in late 2003: the craven rejection of $200 million proffered by Michigan businessman Robert Thompson to build charter schools for Detroit's inner-city poor.
