Republican gubernatorial candidate Rick Snyder has been the subject of discussion by two Michigan political podcasts this week. Download the Talking Michigan Politics Podcast and the Two Guys Named Joe – The DiSano & Munem Report for discussions about attacks being leveled at Snyder. The Two Guys podcast went as far to question the competence of Snyder’s campaign advisors.

Rick Snyder’s campaign spokesman released the following statement regarding the growing controversy surrounding the potential candidate:

“This anonymous and dishonest smear tactic is exactly the kind of politics that has plagued Lansing and distracted Michigan from what’s important, like creating jobs. Even though he’s not officially in the race, it’s not surprising that Rick’s unique and impressive track record of domestic job creation is under attack. His leadership at Gateway helped a $600 million business grow to a public company worth $6 billion in revenues and he’s focused on economic development in Michigan ever since. Whether or not he chooses to run for Governor, voters should reject politics as usual and urge their leaders instead to focus on fixing Michigan’s economy.”
