MI Gov Granholm Part of Obama Transition Team

Governor Jennifer Granholm is reportedly now a part of Barack Obama's transition team according to recent reports. MLiv.com shows a picture of Obama at a news conference today, with Governor Granholm to his immediate left.

According to The Grand Rapids Press, early speculation suggests "Granholm is rumored to be on a list for U.S. Supreme Court, should Justices John Paul Stevens, 88, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, 75, or David Souter, 69, step down in the next four years.

She also is thought to be under consideration for secretary of energy, interior, labor or a post in the U.S. Justice Department. Speculation about her role was fueled further Thursday when Obama named her to his transition team's economic advisory board."

Read the rest of The Grand Rapids Press article to see why former Michigan Supreme Court Judge Dennis Archer prefers Granholm finish her term as governor.

Exciting times for Michigan as the Big Three Automakers are struggling financially and Governor Granholm appears to be "movin' on up" to the big time.
