CHERRY
From Page 1A
gan Daily in an interview yesterday
Cherry's decision not to run will
"make (the race) wide open."
Other candidates vying for the
Democratic nomination include
state Rep. Alma Wheeler Smith
(D-Salem), former state Rep. John
Freeman (D-Madison Heights) and
George Perles, a MSU trustee. Oth-
ers like Dillon and Lansing Mayor
Virg Bernero have expressed inter-
est in competing for the guberna-
torial seat, but have not formally
entered the race.
In a statement released yesterday
Dillon didn't include how Cherry's
decision will affect his own cam-
paign, but he wrote that he appre-
ciates the work Cherry has done in
office.
"Michigan residents owe John
Cherry a debt of gratitude for his
decades of dedicated public ser-
vice," Dillon wrote in the release. "I
respect John's decision and the tre-
mendous work he has done for the
state of Michigan."
Though Cherry had been the
Democratic front-runner, polls
show he still lagged behind Repub-
lican candidates Attorney Gen-
eral Mike Cox, Congressman Pete
Hoekstra (R-Mich.) and Oakland
County Sheriff Michael Bouchard
who hold the top three spots,
respectively, according to data
released by The Detroit News in a
Nov. 30, 2009 article.
Stu Sandler, the campaign man-
ager for Cox, said though Cherry
was a "very strong competitor," his
decision to decline running for the
gubernatorial bid is not going to
affect Cox's campaign.
"I think Mike's in a very strong
position," Sandler said in an inter-
view with the Daily today. "He has
a plan to bring jobs back to Michi-
gan. I don't think it matters who's
running in either primary. He's
running a very strong race."
Sandier also said Cox's fund-
raising efforts have been success-
ful thus far, despite the challenge
the recession presented in raising
money.
"I think it's a tough environment
to fundraise, but I think people
are going to be impressed by the
amount of support Mike has got,"
he said.
Many believe the outlook for the
Democratic Party is bleak for this
election year, given the unpopular-
ity of the current state administra-
tion. In a statement released by
Bouchard, he wrote Cherry's deci-
sionto not run for governor is related
to his association with Michigan's
current political problems.
"I think anyone who has been
in Lansing for the last eight years
has a difficult time campaigning
on fixing the mess they were part
of creating," Bouchard wrote in the
release. "I think Lieutenant Gov-
ernor Cherry was faced with this
reality."
John Truscott, the spokesman
for Hoekstra's campaign, said
Cherry's decision to not run in the
race will turn the election in favor
of the Republican Party, though he
said he predicts that the race will
get closer toward the end.
"I think people want change,"
Truscott said. "I think people are
looking for a different course, and
frankly, a lot of people in Michi-
gan are looking for.jobs and look-
ing for the people that can provide
answers. The feeling is starting
to move toward the Republican
Party."
Democratic Gov. Jennifer Gra-
nholm, who has worked with Cher-
ry in the gubernatorial office since
2003, expressed regret regarding
Cherry's decision to end his cam-
paign possibilities for the guberna-
torial race.
Granholm wrote in a press
release yesterday that she appreci-
ates everything Cherry has done in
serving Michigan throughout his
political career. She cited his work
helping to diversify Michigan's
economy and increasing prospects
for higher education for Michigan
citizens.
"I am proud of John Cherry's
work in our administration and the
integrity he demonstrated in con-
sideringagubernatorialcampaign,"
Granholm wrote in the release.
"I look forward to his continued
counsel and support throughout
the remainder of this year as we
work to move Michigan forward."

Through Daily and legal career,
McQuade has sought the truth
From Page 1A
1986. She was the second woman
to hold the position.
McQuade said she loved the
respect she received from coaches
Schembechler, Berenson and Frie-
der, who she said always patiently
answered her questions and knew
her name.
"Although I liked to think they
remembered my name because of
my work, I think it is more likely
that they remembered my name
because there were so few female
reporters then," McQuade said.
Continuing to set new prec-
edents, McQuade said she is ready
to be the first female to lead the
U.S. Attorney's Office in Detroit.
She cited women like Wayne
County Prosecutor Kym Worthy
and Democratic Gov. Jennifer Gra-
nholm, a former Michigan attor-
ney general, who McQuade said
-are two women who have "served
with great distinction" and paved
the way for her career.
"I have really ridden their coat-
tails to some extent, and I think
that it's no longer a novelty (to be
a female with a high position),"
McQuade said. "People have an
expectation that women can serve
as effective prosecutors."
McQuade said one of her goals
in her new position is to prevent
violent crimes in Michigan by hav-
ing her office take on an increased
role in enforcement.
With the state's budget in crisis,
McQuade said county prosecutors
are working with limited resourc-
es and are having trouble "keeping
up with the workload." To help
alleviate the pressure, McQuade
wants her office to step in and
address issues like the high rates
of carjacking, armed robbery and
firearm cases.
"I think that violent crime is
what really affects people's lives
and the quality of life in our state,"
she said. "If we can make a dent
in violent crime, we can really
improve people's lives."
Since 1998, she has served as
deputy chief of the U.S. Attor-
ney's Office National Security
Unit, where she has advised law
enforcement on security issues
concerning major events in the
Metro Detroit area.
McQuade worked at sporting
events like the 2004 Ryder Cup
at Oakland Hills, the 2005 Major
League Baseball All-Star Game at
Comerica Park, Super Bowl XL in
2006 and the 2009 NCAA Final
Four at Ford Field.
McQuade's interest in gov-
ernment can be traced back to
her days as a Daily reporter, she
said. During that time, her favor-
ite book was "All the President's
Men" - a story about two jour-
nalists who investigated Presi-
dent Richard Nixon's Watergate
scandal.
"What reporters and prosecu-
tors do is very similar - looking
for wrongdoing and looking for
misconduct and trying to expose
that," she said. "I think that influ-
ence certainly inspired me to do
what I do today."
University alum and Student
Publications board member Phil
Nussel traveled with McQuade on
road trips, covering the Michigan
football team during their four
years working together in the
Daily's sports section during the
mid-1980s.
Nussel, who is now managing
editor of Automotive News Online,
distinctly recalled one trip to the
1987 Rose Bowl, when Michigan
lost to Arizona State 22-15. Despite
the loss, McQuade said govering
the Rose Bowl was the highlight of
her journalism career.
Their junior year, Nussel and
McQuade ran against each other
for the position of managing
sports editor. In a close election,
McQuade won by two votes. Now,
24 years later, Nussel joked about
how he lost by a slim margin but
said McQuade was perfect for the
job.
"She won by a couple votes,
and she deserved it," Nussel said.
"She was an outstanding journal-
ist, and I really thought she had a
career in journalism ahead of her.
I didn't think she'd go into law, but
she turned out to be a hell of a law-
yer."
University alum Eric Matt-
son was the editor-in-chief while
McQuade was sports editor. In an
interview last week, Mattson said
it was impressive for a woman to
be managing sports editor and
lead the sports section of a news-
paper in those days.
He added that he loved working
with McQuade because he could
always count on her to get a job
done.
"I have to say that Barb was the
most consistent, reliable, sharp
editor that you could hope to deal
with," Mattson said. "She ran a
tight ship, but at the same time,
you could tell that she and her
writers were having a really good
time."
When Mattson heard McQuade
received the U.S. attorney posi-
tion, he said he was not the least
bit surprised by the announce-
ment.
"If you would have told me 20
years ago thatshe would have been
U.S. attorney someday, that would
not have surprised me," he said.
"And frankly it would not surprise
me if she continues to move up the
ladder."
Joe Ewing, a University and
Daily alum, worked with McQuade
in the sports section for three
years. He said he remembered her
having a great sense of humor and
getting along with everyone.
"She took everything in stride
- especially in a sports depart-
ment where it seemed to be more
male-dominated - but she never
seemed to be intimidated by any-
body," Ewing said.
Nussel said McQuade has
superb leadership skills that will
get her through difficult moments
over the next few years.
"The thing about Barb McQuade
is that nothing ever fazes her," he
said. "She's a cool customer. That's
the kind of mentality you need
when you're the most important
law enforcement official in south-
east Michigan. You have to really
be able to keep your cool and she
does that."
Nussel said that he's most
impressed that McQuade has
time to raise her four kids, ages 6
through 12.
"To be as successful as she is
and to still have time to raise a
family is pretty amazing stuff," he
said.
McQuade met her husband
Dan Hurley while they attended
Law School at the University. As
an assistant U.S. attorney, Hurley
works with McQuade at the attor-
ney's office.
McQuade said she's lucky to
have her husband for support but
is confident she'll be able to bal-
ance her job and family.
The McQuades currently live in
Ann Arbor and remain dedicated
Michigan sports fans, McQuade
said.
Cuban officials protest increased
screening for U.S.-bound flights
Top diplomat calls
the controls
"discriminatory and
selective"
HAVANA (AP) - Cuba sum-
moned the top U.S. diplomat on the
island yesterday to protest extra
screening for Cuban citizens fly-
ing into the United States, calling
the rule a "hostile action" meant to
justify America's trade embargo.
The new dispute comes after
several setbacks that have all but
snuffed out hope for a quick resolu-
tion to the half-century of antago-
nism between Cuba and the United
States, and as Cuban officials have
been increasingly sharp-spoken
about their disappointment in
President Barack Obama.
Josefina Vidal Ferreiro, director
of the Cuban Foreign Ministry's
North American affairs office, said
the new security controls were
"discriminatory and selective."
"We categorically reject this
new hostile action by the govern-
ment of the United States against
Cuba," she told The Associated
Press in an exclusive interview.
Vidal Ferreiro said she lodged
the protest in an afternoon meet-
ing with Jonathan Farrar, the head
of the U.S. Interests Section, which
Washington maintains in Cuba
instead of an embassy. Cubit's top
diplomat in Washington delivered
a similar message to State Depart-
ment officials earlier in the day,
she said.
The United States imposed the
airline security measures Monday
following an apparent attempt by
a Nigerian man to blow up a pas-
senger jet as it approached Detroit
on Christmas Day.Among the 14
nations whose citizens will face
increased scrutiny are four -
Cuba, Iran, Sudan and Syria - that
the U.S. government considers
state sponsors of terrorism.
Cuba has been on that list since
the 1980s, but has always main-
tained its inclusion had more to
do with the United States' antag-
onistic policy toward the com-
munist-governed nation than
with evidence that it sponsors
terrorism.
