    I think this is great new for the state of Michigan as well as for Granholm. With 1000 jobs promising to come and Granholm’s job plan she has laid out for her campaign, maybe things are starting to turn around for Michigan.

    It really don’t mean anything. 1,000 jobs over 5 years is not very much compared to the complete state of Michigan. She was lucky to have Google open one small office in Michigan. I would say yeah if she brought 100,000 jobs to Michigan, and not just an area of Michigan that is not hurting as much as the rest of the state.
