Michigan Primaries – The State That Doesn’t Count



MitRomney.jpgWell the primary elections are in town today.? Time to get out and vote.


For the republicans it’s business as usual.? You vote for the best guy they should put up for president.? But what about the democrats?


Well.? I guess they don’t want to recognize Michigan.? The only major candidate to put her name on the Ballot was Hillary Clinton.? So here are your democratic choices:


A.?Hillary Clinton

B.?Undecided

C.?Other: Write Name Here:_____________________


Here’s the funny thing.? If you choose C your vote doesn’t count.? What?? You read that right.? They give you a choice that invalidates your vote.?


Printing costs must be up because they’ve got a few names on there of guys who’ve already dropped out, so you can’t pick them either.


But the Obhama and Edwards supporters are still out in full force:


“Choose undecided,” they say.? “That way Michigan delegates can vote for someone else instead of Hillary down the road”.? Ok.? Let me get that straight now.? Vote for the guys that didn’t even want to be on Micigan’s ballot?


But what issues are important for Michiganders in this election? That’s an easy one:? JOBS.


1 in 13 people doesn’t have a job here.? So it should be an easy sale for the candidates that do actually want to get some votes out of old Michigan.


I’m a republican.? I haven’t made up my mind for their best guy yet.? But I’ll do some research today and go cast my vote later this afternoon.


It should be an exciting election year ahead.
