John Edwards: I'd invest billions in Michigan

Battle Creek Enquirer:

"The U.S. government should invest billions to help Michigan become the hub for transforming the nation's energy economy, Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards said Saturday.

Speaking to more than 1,800 Democrats at the annual Jefferson Jackson dinner at Cobo Center in Detroit, Edwards said he'd like to see Michigan evolve.

'We should put billions of dollars into creation of the new technology and $1 billion should go right to the car companies,' he said. 'I don't want to see the cars of the future built anywhere else.'"

Oh, Did I mention that I am running for President lately?
