ELECTION 2006: Round 3 is brutal for DeVos, Granholm

ELECTION 2006: Round 3 is brutal for DeVos, Granholm:

"If there were doubts that the campaign for governor will sprint into the final three weeks with bruising intensity, they were dispelled at Monday's third and final debate, where Gov Jennifer Granholm and Republican challenger Dick DeVos butted heads over taxes, education, the economy change and their ability to lead.

Both campaigns plan to air new television ads this week -- don't expect a gentler tone.

The Michigan Democratic Party today plans to air a new TV ad criticizing DeVos for his performance as Amway president. DeVos campaign spokesman John Truscott said DeVos will put up a new ad this week, too, but declined to elaborate on its content."
