The Michigan Daily - michigandaily.com Monday, December 14, 2009 =- 7A 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." -The Associated Press contributed to this report. 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.
