His successor; DemonicRat Jennifer Granholm, served from 2003 thru 2010, and "drove" the state into the ground financially during that time. Even though most of her term happened during a strong national economy she still managed to bankrupt the state.
In this example the Gov. was forced from office not by the will of the people and their vote, but by mandate. And the people were forced to choose between 2 candidates they may not necessarily have supported had Engler not been term limited.
Term limits; like taxes, manipulate and change behavior, forcing people to do things they might not otherwise do without the restriction.

Americans are obviously divided on the current presidential race. We disagree, too, on a whole range of social and economic issues. But we remain firmly united when it comes to one straightforward political reform: term limits.
Since 1990, when voters in California, Colorado and Oklahoma passed the first statewide ballot initiatives to limit the number of terms their state legislators could serve, the issue has enjoyed sustained support from whopping majorities in every region of the country, in rural states like Wyoming and in the urban behemoths of New York...
If Engler had been allowed to run in 2002 for another term, would she have ever been elected in the 1st place? MOST likely, NO!
