NEW POLL OVERVIEW:<br />
----------------------------<br />
A Livingston County 'tea party</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> member and Treasurer of Hartland Township-based RetakeOurGov, Wes Nakagiri,&nbsp; is leading an effort to replace Lt. Gov. Brian Calley with a more conservative Republican at the state GOP</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">s 2014 convention. He has even said that if no one else is willing to challenge Calley on the ticket to run with Governor Snyder to be the Lieutenant Governor he would be willing to do that.<br />
<br />
Nakagiri said Michigan and the republicans need a more conservative lieutenant governor candidate and that it would bring more Republicans to the polls who otherwise would stay home on Election Day rather than support the potential Snyder-Calley ticket.<br />
<br />
He also said Calley should be replaced to bring a </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">balanced perspective</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> to an administration that has supported the expansion of Medicaid to Michigan</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">s working poor; creation of a state-run health-care exchange; increased road revenue; and the Common Core State English and math standards.<br />
<br />
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Those are the issues that are really aggravating traditional Republicans and people like myself, so I don&rsquo;t think it&rsquo;s a hard sell,</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> Nakagiri said.<br />
<br />
The plan to replace Calley is supported by about six other </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">tea party</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> representatives in Michigan who would like to see to Calley replaced.<br />
<br />
Snyder</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">s office said the governor and Calley </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">have made a strong team</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> but that disagreement is to be expected.<br />
<br />
When asked if Snyder believes the </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">tea party</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> plan will gain traction, Snyder spokeswoman Sara Wurfel said:<br />
<br />
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">I think it&rsquo;s clear that the governor and lieutenant governor have been and will continue to stay focused on making the tough, but needed decisions that will ensure Michigan&rsquo;s comeback continues and that are in the best interests of 10 million Michiganders, regardless of politics or polls. We know that&rsquo;s bound to make people on the left unhappy from time to time, as well as those on the right, and those in the middle,</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> Wurfel said.<br />

Undecided - 2% <br />
<br />
ONE COMMENTS WAS MADE ON THIS POLL:<br />
<br />
Leave Money Out of ACA Funding<br />
<br />
Absolutely should defund ObamaCare any way possible. GOP has to stand firm against this horrible program any way possible. Fear of offending voters has caused the GOP to become a party that stands for nothing. Conservatives will applaud their standing firm on &quot;something&quot;. Now for some conservative candidates for the mid-term elections.!!<br />
