Bill Schuette and Gretchen Whitmer

Bill Ballenger and Dennis Denno, veterans of Michigan politics, discuss pressing issues of the day on "The Friday Morning Podcast," sponsored by Deadline Detroit:

  • Republican gubernatorial nominee Bill Schuette chooses Kent. County Clerk Lisa Posthumus Lyons as his running mate, and Democratic nominee Gretchen Whitmer prepares to make her choice shortly. Will these two picks make any difference Nov. 6?
  • Also, the hosts interview the upset winner of the Aug. 7 primary in the 5th State Senate district, newcomer Betty Jean Alexander, of Detroity and her campaign adviser, former state Rep. LaMar Lemmons, D-Detroit. Aklexander's surprise win denies Sen. David Knezek a second term.
