On this week's Talking Michigan Politics podcast, Grand Rapids Press editors Jeff Cranson and Ed Golder discuss: 1. What do Tuesday's results in Pennsylvania, Kentucky and Arkansas mean? Is Obama's help a welcome thing for candidates? And will the Tea Party continue to be a factor? 2. Governor's race. • How about a one-term pledge? Mike Bouchard has mentioned it; Joe Schwartz says it's a certainty, should he decide to run. • Mike Cox's TV assault on Pete Hoekstra may be working. Hoekstra has taken the Americans for Tax Reform pledge, meaning he will "oppose and veto any and all efforts to increase taxes." • The end of this podcast includes audio from a separate podcast posted Wednesday that features an interview with Bouchard. 3. Consolidating governments. Is it time to merge some communities? The next installment of the Grand Rapids Press 10.0 series explores the question and how others have done it successfully. Conversation starters: • Ed: If Elena Kagan is confirmed for the Supreme Court, it will mark the first time in the country's history there will not be a Protestant on the high court. Six justices will be Catholic; three will be Jewish. Does it matter? This piece from Boston University Professor Steven Prothero argues that it does. • Jeff on Meet The Facts -- how a couple college students took it on themselves to check the validity of statements made on Sunday Morning talk shows. On The Media reported on it last week.

On a special edition of the Talking Michigan Politics podcast, Press editors Jeff Cranson and Ed Golder talk with Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard about his gubernatorial candidacy. Among the questions and topics: One term? New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is doing all the things he promised in an effort to close his state's $10 billion budget gap, which means his popularity is sagging. If Michigan's next governor does the things that need to be done, Bouchard has said it would be tough to be re-elected. Polls: Bouchard continues to run fourth in the polls, despite some statewide name ID from previous elections. What's the strategy and when does he fully join the air wars ? Tea Party: "We have far too much government," Bouchard says. Anti-incumbent mood: Is his past legislative experience helpful politically or something to de-emphasize?

On this week's Talking Michigan Politics podcast, Grand Rapids Press editors Jeff Cranson and Ed Golder discuss: 1. Taxes. Voters said yes across West Michigan, with wide margins in the cities of Wyoming and Kentwood. In Grand Rapids, a proposal to hike the income tax from 1.3 to 1.5 percent for residents was adopted narrowly. Our friend, Peter Bratt, crunched the numbers (PDF). The question that keeps coming up is whether this signals that the anti-tax Tea Party is not as influential as believed or whether the movement is focused on nameless, faceless bureaucrats in D.C. and Lansing and is not a factor in voters' decisions on local issues. 2. Governor's race Republican candidate Peter Hoekstra continues to lead in polls, but was it a good move to seek the endorsement of Rick Santorum, a former Penn. U.S. Senator? Santorum had other stops in Michigan, including an endorsement for 2nd Congressional candidate Jay Riemersma. The social and fiscal conservative was ousted in the 2006 Democratic landslide by the largest margin of defeat for an incumbent U.S. senator since 1980. And will Attorney General Mike Cox, another GOP gubernatorial candidate, participate in a debate in Grand Rapids May 24? And what comes of a decision not to demand disclosure for campaign ad spending from Secretary of State Terri Land, running mate of GOP candidate for governor Mike Bouchard? 3. Food for thought The Center for Michigan is taking on the big issues and their Citizens' Agenda and scorecard should provoke deep thought and discussion. Conversation starter: • Ernie Harwell, whose voice was what summer sounds like to generations of baseball fans from Michigan, died Tuesday at 92. He was goodness and light and humbly understood his unique fortune in life to have mastered a profession that allowed him to give a magical gift to people of all ages -- he let us feel like kids again. A Press editorial pays appropriate homage to the voice of the Detroit Tigers for more than 40 years. Jeff reads from a portion of his 1981 speech upon being inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown.

On this week's Talking Michigan Politics podcast, Jeff and Ed discuss: 1. Gov's race. New polls show U.S. Rep. Peter Hoekstra maintaining a lead on the Republican side, with Mike Cox slipping and Mike Bouchard now at 5 percent. On the other side, as Politics Daily put it, "some other candidate" leads the three Democrats in the Rasmussen Reports poll March 24. "It's pathetic we don't have a candidate," Robert Kolt, a Democratic-leaning public relations consultant, told the Detroit News. "We have nobody with any marquee name value." But Lansing Mayor Virg Bernero, who drew 8 percent to House Speaker Andy Dillon's 12, says he, too, is a nerd. Another Dem, state Rep. Alma Wheeler Smith notched 10 percent. Still, Dems continue not to inspire, meaning, Jeff posits, that independents will vote in the GOP primary, which would be a good thing for Rick Snyder. 2. Anonymous commenting online The issue was brought to the forefront by a recent situation at cleveland.com. 3. Poll: Dems bear more blame for threats A new poll finds the public casts blame on both sides for threats of violence toward members of Congress following the health care bill vote, though slightly more blame "political maneuvers" by Democratic lawmakers: • 49 percent said controversial political maneuvers by Democratic leaders to win passage of the measure was the major reason for the angry fallout. • 25 percent said this was a minor reason. • 22 percent said these were not a factor at all. • 46 percent pointed the finger at harsh criticism of the health care measure from conservative commentators on radio and television. • 26 percent considered this a minor reason. • 23 percent said it was not a cause. • 43 percent said harsh criticism of the measure from Republican leaders was a major cause. • 29 percent said it was a minor cause and 23 percent said it was not a reason at all. Independents spread the blame around more evenly: • 50 percent citing the maneuvers of Democratic leaders • 44 percent the criticism from conservative commentators • 40 percent the rhetoric of Republican leaders. Conversation starters: • Jeff on a New York Magazine story that suggested women should run Wall Street. • Ed's conversation starter is the Grand Rapids Press winning a lawsuit to force the Coopersville school district to disclose how much they paid to victims in a 2007 JV baseball hazing case.
