Mitt Romney, Hillary Clinton Take Michigan

Although It Only Matters For Mitt Romney

Michigan-born Mitt Romney won the state's primary yesterday. Along with his win in Wyoming, this puts him in the lead over Mike Huckabee and John McCain. On the meaningless Democratic side — the DNC stripped Michigan of its delegates as punishment for having the primary too early — Hillary Clinton won. She was also the only frontrunner on the ballot. According to exit polls, 70 percent of black voters chose "uncommitted" on their ballots instead of voting for Clinton. The group overwhelmingly favored Barack Obama, who, had he been on the ballot, would have won 73 percent of the African American vote, as opposed to the 22 percent who said they would have voted for Clinton either way. We've all learned some valuable lessons about polls in recent weeks, and it should be taken into account that the Dems didn't even campaign in Michigan. But, you know. Black voters are all the rage!

Flavor of the week (or year). In 00, 04 and 06, it was Latin-Americans. I suppose now that people are trying to kick their kin (while spewing all sorts of racist crap with it) out of the country, it's time to focus on another minority. Not all Latin-Americans are against these immigration proposals, but I'm guessing all of them are against being talked about as if their ethnic group is an infestation. Who's next on the pawn list?

Michigan is going to find a way to get their delegates to count. They'll work something out with the DNC. I've been told they may do it on the floor of the convention. Something that hasn't happened since….well…for a long time. LMAO.

I read this a.m. that many Dems voted for McCain. I just got an email from the DNC about voting Replublican. LOL. I think they are distressed that Dems went that way - not as a protest, but b/c they actually wanted to. Wonder if that has to do with the in-fighting we've been doing?
