You said Chris Murphy. McMorrow is a rat****er who was part of the silent coop against Biden.

McMorrow has some things, right or wrong, that she'll have to sort out.  She is fine as a state legislator and gave a great speech a few years ago, I like her, but she might not be ready for DC post.  I don't think she survives the primary.  Stupid MI with their term limits.

As a Never Trumper i concede that i’m only voting against something right now.

I’m hopeful that my participation in all aspects of the military industrial complex doesn’t mean i can’t be represented

She probably should have ran for MI-11 with Stevens running for senate.

It is funny seeing criticism of McMorrow here.  She is is one of the few politicians I have seen in recent years that I can stand listening to.  

[Motown Bombers]

McMorrow wants to be a normal progressive but the far left is insane and she doesn’t have a lane.

I’m voting for Stevens. I don’t like rat****ers who disenfranchise me as a voter. I can cone around on McMorrow. I will not ever vote for El-Sayed. It will be the first time in 25 years of voting that I do not vote on the Democratic ticket.

Not that it changes his point, but that gas station is near the airport is notorious for being $1 more than nearby stations.

 

The BP Whiting Refinery (near Chicago in Indiana) suffered an unexpected outage Sunday night . It is the biggest refinery in the Midwest and it when goes down, it adds about $1 to prices throughout the region. Press reports say expect 2 weeks, but guaranteed nobody at the refinery would be telling the press the truth about anything at this point so that's just worthless speculation - timeframe could be anything.

Insult to injury for the American driver.

actually Whiting is also apparently in the middle of union lock-out. Management is trying to keep the plant running and that's usually a disaster waiting to happen. 

The bad part is that at this point this is hitting mostly areas that are mostly already trending blue. Some Whiting supply must also go to Ohio but I have no idea how much.

I saw a AAA price map of Wisconsin yesterday, it was amusing how you could see the dividing line in terms of which counties get their gas from Chicagoland and which ones get their gas from Pine Bend (outside of St. Paul)

I've been inside the Pine Bend refinery. Marathon also has a refinery north and across the river from Pine bend but it's maybe 1/2 the size or less.

We briefly looked at a plug-in hybrid the last go round. The combination of difference in price plus the cost to set up our garage to accommodate the electric side. Also the battery size took a significant bite out of the storage area of the SUV (Tuscon).

That said, we're happy with getting about 45-50 mpg...

I'm finding the EV is close to perfect as an around the town vehicle, but when we replace the other car it will likely be with a hybrid SUV that gives me a 48" wide floor that can carry larger cargo

If we still lived in SE Michigan and had two vehicles, I'd consider it. One car and several road trips of 3 hours or more a year just does t seem to work financially for us.
