(11/15/02, 7 a.m.
ET) — If some Michigan residents have their way, Ted Nugent will be running for
governor of the state in 2006.
Following the recent election of Jennifer Granholm as
Michigan governor, radio station WOOD-AM in Grand Rapids asked its listeners who
they’d like to see oppose her in four years. The survey is still going on, but
Nugent has been named in about 90 percent of the responses every day, beating
out others such as speaker of the Michigan House Rick Johnson and former
Lieutenant Governor Dick Posthumus.
The singer-guitarist issued this statement to LAUNCH,
“I’ve always taken my ‘We The People’ obligations to heart as an activist
American for quality of life upgrade. I’ve got three years to think about it,
but there is no doubt the status quo needs to be tipped on its bureaucratic ass.
I’m definitely the guy for that job.”
In a further statement, Nugent said, “I’m flattered that
the Michigan citizenry grasps my sincerity. I have always celebrated my ‘We The
People’ activism. Maybe it’s time to take it to the next level. The status quo
system of politics sucks. Maybe it’s time for an upheaval. Call me Ted
‘Upheaval’ Nugent. We’ll see what happens.”

Might be a good choice to cure the governments stranglehold or to rid the state of Cat
Scratch Fever. I have seen him in concert a couple of times and have an
autographed poster of his and I am sure he would be a real pain in the neck to
most liberals with his hunting advocacy and in-your-face conservatism. He is
mostly pro-life except for in the case of incest and life of the mother, which
is too bad since a 100 percent pro-life gonzo conservative would have been
nice.
