| Description | LANSING, Mich. -- Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm is driving hard to prevent her state -- and her future -- from becoming carnage of the wrecked auto industry.
Just a month ago, Gov. Granholm, deeply unpopular in her recession-battered state, was coaching car company chief executives on improving their plea for federal aid, privately pressing President-elect Barack Obama for help and boosting auto sales by ordering her state to purchase 1,600 vehicles from the Big Three for Michigan's fleet cars.
But even as the auto makers won their bailout bid from President George W. Bush, the rehabilitation of Gov. Granholm's stature has stalled. Despite close ties to Obama advisers, Gov. Granholm, who must leave office in 2010 under term limits, failed to land a cabinet post as the nominations concluded this week. |
