Or, are the political parties so arrogant that they think they get to pick our candidates and only allowed one person from each party to run? I know it's typical for the incumbent governor to run in a primary with no opposition from his/her party, but why aren't the Republicans giving us a choice at all?

I have to admit, I'm baffled by the need to have a primary if they're running unopposed. I could see in a way, no one running against Granholm for the Democrats. I agree, that it's strange there are no other Republican candidates. He's been running unopposed since around February.
