Many conservative bloggers across the state are, to put it mildly, less than enthusiastic about the way Michigan’s gubernatorial primaries shook out on the Republican side:

I’m not really happy with the idea of Snyder as the alternative to the “Angriest Mayor In America” either. I mean, the Rick Snyder platform has lifted pages straight out of the failed Jennifer Granholm’s agenda:

Rick Snyder is the right leader to help protect the environment while growing the economy. As a member of the board of trustees of the Michigan Chapter of the Nature Conservancy, Rick has gained great insight into the issues facing Michigan and the role that the state should play in the Great Lakes Region. As an entrepreneur, Rick understands how to quickly and efficiently transfer technology from the classroom to the marketplace, which will help protect Michigan’s environment and create “green collar” jobs.

Green collar jobs? Seriously?

Rick also is bringing back the super popular Granholm initiative from her first term. Cool cities.

Jobs and vibrant cities are critical to keeping youth in Michigan. The first priority for state government to help keep youth in Michigan is to create the best environment for young people to find jobs and an exciting living environment. A business friendly and globally competitive Michigan will provide the career opportunities young workers desire. Cities should offer youth leadership roles so they can help shape their growth and uniqueness.

If Rick is going to model is platform on a current governor, use more Chris Christie and less Jennifer Granholm.
