Will health care vote by the key issue in November election?

On this week's Talking Michigan Politics podcast, press editors Jeff Cranson and Ed Golder discuss: 1. Health Care. Is the health care vote really going to be the big issue in November, or is it still about jobs? Some believe the vote will solidify an alliance between social and fiscal conservatives in the GOP base. As former George W. Bush speech writer David Frum, who's rapidly falling out of favor with his party, asks: Do Republicans write a one-sentence bill declaring that the whole thing is repealed? Will they vote to reopen the "doughnut" hole for prescription drugs for seniors? To allow health insurers to deny coverage to people with pre-existing conditions? To kick millions of people off Medicaid? Frum makes the argument that only talk radio hosts like Rush Limbaugh benefit from the vitriol: "If Republicans succeed -- if they govern successfully in office and negotiate attractive compromises out of office -- Rush's listeners get less angry. And if they are less angry, they listen to the radio less and hear fewer ads for Sleep Number beds." But top Republicans like Arizona Sen. John McCain say the vote will pay big dividends for his party. "We're going to have a very spirited campaign coming up between now and November," McCain told ABC's Good Morning America. Meanwhile Tea Party will hold three rallies in U.S. Rep. Bart Stupak's northern Michigan district to target him. The Tea Party Express III: Just Vote Them Out tour has added a new member of Congress who will be added to the group's target list. "We're trading votes with Bart Stupak. He sold out the American people and voted for that awful health care bill, so now we're going to repay the favor and vote him out of office," said Joe Wierzbicki, Coordinator of the Tea Party Express and a Michigan native. 2. Governor's race. Democrat Andy Dillon and Republican Pete Hoekstra seemed to agree on more than they disagree at a forum in Detroit last week. One Lansing Republican insider, said he came away surprised at Hoekstra's performance, calling him a "rock star" and said Dillon was better than in past appearances, too. Republican Mike Cox is getting national attention for being among state attorneys general filing challenges to the national health care bill. And another official tied to Democrat Virg Bernero has tax issues. 3. Michigan 10.0 -- Resources for sale. Windmills, water, land, conflicts abound, though many are optimistic that those resources hold the seeds of economic recovery.
