<blockquote>
<p>Democrat Virg Bernero said Tuesday that Republican rival Rick Snyder might try to sell the Mackinac Bridge if elected governor, drawing a quick denial from the GOP nominee.<br />
<br />
&nbsp;</p>
<p>&quot;I am stunned that Rick Snyder would consider selling one of the symbols of the state,&quot; Bernero told The Associated Press in a telephone interview. The Lansing mayor then flew to a &quot;save the bridge&quot; rally near the 5 -mile-long bridge, which links Michigan's two peninsulas at the convergence of Lakes Michigan and Huron.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The claim that Snyder wants to sell the bridge is nonsense, of course, but that of course wouldn't stop a desperate Virg from... what's the word... Distorting? Lying? Take your pick, they are often the same thing.</p>
<p>The good news is we're about to see a lot fewer Virg signs on the streets. The bad news is that Lansing is still stuck with him.</p>
<p>But on the subject of Virg signs, I drove down Oakland on the way to work downtown, and between Marshall and Larch, I noticed about twenty Rick Snyder signs. And not a single Virg sign in that stretch. It is encouraging that so many people in Lansing, Virg's base of operation, are not willing to give him a promotion.</p>
<p>So take it from Lansing - don't vote Virg.</p>";s:6:"format";s:1:"2";}}}
