Because they moved it up, MI's delegates won't count at the DNC unless they all show up "uncommitted". Clinton is the only candidate on the ballot anyone will vote for except for the malcontents who might punch up Kucinich. Edwards and Obama aren't even on the ballot.
Today, McCain and Romney will both visit the state. Perhaps this whole thing will truly backfire on the Dems, who obviously feel they have a lock on the state (which is true as long as Detroit votes).
Detroit will vote won't it?
Hoe many delegates is Michigan worth?

156, but in this case, potentially none.

Unfortunately yes, there is no literacy requirement to vote.

Then that means you'll be voting, right?
"In Detroit, where blacks make up 82 percent of the population, according to 2000 Census figures, more than 93 percent of voters sided with Democrat John Kerry."

What can one say?

Meaning what relative to the City of Detroit?

I'm sure that most of South Boston also voted for Kerry in many elections, until of course they found out that Kerry wasn't IRISH...
Here in Michigan the only way to get reasonable laws passed is to somehow bypass or pacify the Detroit vote. There is a reason Michigan is having a single-state recession. And most of that lies in the SE corner of the state.
well that would make sense... up in the northern section you're still waiting for indoor plumbing aren't you?
What do you wait for when you've got indoor plumbing? Social calls maybe. Birthdays? Something narcissistic is all you have left. The struggle is the thing. Arriving is hopeless.
There was an inquest today here about a little infant girl who was scalded to death in her bed by the indoor plumbing and another little girl has been killed by falling masonry as she passed by a house where the indoor plumbing went wrong.

Like the Carolinas, gentrification and hillbillyness can live right around the corner from each other.
If you are a Democratic voter in Michigan, please consider crossing over and voting for...
Mitt Romney
A Romney victory in Michigan is the best thing for the Democrats. It keeps Romney alive and keeps a crowded field. This means more attack ads on the Republican side and more money spent for them to fight things out.
This is fair considering that Michigan Republicans have crossed over several times to vote for candidates they felt were not best for the Democrats. Jesse Jackson (for example) won a bunch of votes in the primary from registered Republicans in conservative districts.
If you vote for Romney as a Democrat, you won't be the only one. There are Democratic voters organizing right now in the noble effort to keep Romney a viable candidate.
So, if you are a Democrat... please consider casting a worthwhile vote-- for Mitt Romney.
Typical scum tactic by ebp. Nothing new.
In fact everything he's ever posted here has kinda floated on the top waiting to be skimmed off.

I bet you it's a tactic supported by every single Republican Romney supporter.
Stumble It!
