I've had a great time following and writing about the Gov. Jennifer Granholm reelection campaign from afar this season, and I'll miss it when it's done. But in the meantime, there's work to be done. If you're a Michigander (or Michiganian) in residency (or allegiance), ask yourself: What are you doing to help get out the vote tomorrow? There's less than 36 hours left to go before polls close, and even less time left to help make a difference.

It's now or never and there are many things you can do to make sure we leave no rock unturned, or in this case, no voter left behind. The Michigan Democratic Party needs your help making phone calls and knocking on doors to remind people to vote and to let them know where to vote. You would be surprised how many people forget it's Election Day. If you aren't inclined to call or canvass for Michigan voters, what about offering up a couple of hours to give rides to polls?

Below, more GOTV ideas, an excerpt from a Granholm mailing, and details on where you can go to help re-elect our movie star guv, J. Grho.

If none of these options float your boat, go to this Granholm for Governor page and send a quick email to 10 of your friends, family, neighbors or coworkers reminding them to vote. When you look back on November 8th, you should unequivocally believe with all your heart that you did everything possible to get out the vote.

I've put some more helpful GOTV info further down in this post, but first -- like perhaps many of you, this morning I got a letter from Gov. Granholm in my email inbox. I quite liked the end of it, so here it is:

I am a Governor who works hard every day, for everyday people. My opponent, time and again, has made decisions to help himself and the fortunate few at Michigan's expense.

In the past four years, I've cut more out of state government than any Governor in state history. I've set in motion the most comprehensive and aggressive jobs plan in the nation. And I've protected and invested in education and health care and public safety for all Michigan citizens. We've made incredible progress, but there is a lot more still to be done.

Tomorrow, Michigan votes. I'm depending on you to help me keep our plan, and our vision of Michigan's future, alive. Forward this email to your friends and family and remind them to vote. Get on the phone and make sure that everyone knows what is at stake. You can make the difference in this election.

Sincerely,

Well said. I said I've had fun watching this race go from looking sort of grim to looking like a key retention. But I'm going to find it more interesting these next four years watching as Gov. Granholm continues to put the state back in the right direction.

In the meantime, I put together a table showing information with phone numbers about all the Democratic Party headquarters around the state (of course, cribbed from the state party website). If you can help, these are the numbers you should call:

And before I forget, way to go Lions! Maybe the Tigers didn't quite pull it out. But beating Vick's Falcons yesterday afternoon should be an omen good enough.

Go Granholm!

I just saw this very interesting diaryfrom gandergardener over on MI Liberal and wanted to share. Here is yet another update on the interesting ways Dick DeVos spends his money . . . very shady.

As you might know, Gov. Jennifer Granholm answered questions in the comments at Daily Kos today -- it was a great thread, and well worth reading. Because of some kind of error, she logged on as "artichoke" -- which was kind of funny, but not too distracting.  (Someone better tell Dick -- fear the artichoke!)  There were good questions, and she had some good answers.

Meanwhile, I got in a side conversation with a few other community members -- and came up with an idea that results in the following fun Photoshop work. Prepare to be Amwayed:

That should get the point across, no? So here's my other question: any ideas for who else should be added to the pyramid? I'm taking suggestions....

It looks like Governor Granholm, herself, will be writing on Kos and taking questions tomorrow (Wed.) morning. How exciting! Maybe she will make an appearance at MyDD?

The post also includes a new ad just released by the Michigan Democratic Party.

Who: Gov. Jennifer Granholm
What: Diary on Daily Kos
When: Wednesday, September 13, 11:15am - 12:15pm EST

This is a "campaign ad,"[produced by the Michigan Democratic Party] attacking GOP Gubernatorial candidate for Michigan, Dick DeVos. It's only an internet ad, but it's downright hilarious.

It's also self explanatory.
