If you have been listening to Reds Place you know that not too long ago I interviewed Ben Padnos, internet entrepreneur and son of Seymour Padnos of the Louis Padnos Iron And Metal Company of Holland. He bought the web domain name petehoekstra.com and not because he is a fan of Representative Pete Hoekstra who is running for the Governor of Michigan, but quite the opposite. Ben feels that Pete is "Dangerous, polarizing, and bad for Michigan and expressed those feelings in an exclusive interview in Reds Place.

I then contacted Pete Hoekstra for his comments on the website petehoekstra.com and on Ben Padnos. In rare form Pete shared his thoughts on the web site and its author.

My question is this, do you agree with Ben Padnos that Pete Hoekstra would make a bad Govenor for the state of Michigan, or disagree and feel that Pete is the best choice? Or would you like to see term limits wiped away so that Jennifer Granholm can run again? (Bite my tongue?)
