And it was awesome. Granholm's boy, Scott Bowen, was suppose to be the candidate for AG, if we went by the script.

Well we didn't. We nominated Amos Williams who actually cared enough to campaign for our support at convention. He traveled beyond GR even! Often! Came to all our events! Bowen couldn't be bothered.

There was almost a floor fight but by gawd we got Williams on the ballot. It was pretty cool.
