If this political party is so incompetent in how they chose their Presidential candidate, why should we trust them with our national security?

Unbelievable.

Rush is right – it’s priceless watching the Dems squeal about the Republican crossover voters mucking up their primary – particularly when the GOP primary was prematurely aborted completed with the party being left with a Marxist-Leninist moderate for a candidate. Hopefully, the Dems in NH, IA, SC and MI will think 10 times the next time they think about sabotaging the GOP primary.

Sorry; I wasn’t plagiarizing… I didn’t read the comments before I posted. GMTA

The primary system as it is currently organized totally sucks.

I call for a nationwide presidential primary for both parties held in every state on the same day… Say on April 15th. ;-)

The way it is now a few states that are NOT representative of the the ‘Average American’ essentially get to decide for the rest of us.

I can’t believe that more people aren’t screaming about this. Talk about disenfranchisement. Our primary isn’t until June… As if there is any actual choice NOW, much less four months from now.

with only huck and mac man on the ticket in SC

How about that in Missouri , Florida– would it make a difference. Maybe.

I know some of you would rather eat your young than vote for either. Those comments aside, if they get to why not us. LOL

Huh?

Romney we Michigan Governor 40 years ago. Mitt had nothing to do with michigan moving it’s date and everything to do with trying to make Michigan more relevant to the process. And it looks like my elected lawmakers on both sides of the political spectrum have succeeded, masterfully.

Michigan leads the nation in highest unemployment rate for a state not named Louisiana. The unemployment rate is hovering just under 8%. Michigan leads the nation in outbound one-way moving (per U-Haul and North American Van Lines). We lead in foreclosures.

Personally, I want to see BO and HRC come here and tell everyone how they are going to create jobs. Now, THAT will be worth seeing!

My guess…they both blame Bush and it will work.

Maybe we should start all of them over again.

Like a big national “Do-Over”. Yeah.

We can keep voting and voting and voting until we get what we want, or until everyone gets tired of voting.

That’s right. And don’t forget “the poor.” If they can’t afford to go to the DMV to pick up a (free) photo I.D. to show at their polling place, then surely they can’t afford to go to the post office to mail a ballot.

1. Osamabama gets the nomination and wins the national. A year later courts say do-over. Billary wins nomination. Then we do-over the national election?

a. Billary wins.

b. Mac wins.

2. Osamabama gets the nomination and loses the national. A
year later courts say do-over. Billary wins nomination. Then we do-over the national election?

a. Billary loses.

b. Mac loses.

Now reverse the names.

Now factor in if one is VP for the other.

Pass the popcorn.

I would bet that Michigan moved up specifically for Romney since his dad was a former governor there and all.

If all the states had not moved up to Feb 5 and kept their dates as originally intended, this would be a far more interesting election process.

But NOOOO, we want to be important, we want to be first, wah wah wah messed up a really good election campaign.

North Carolina might be more important than any of the Feb 5 states and we don’t vote until May. We can register as late as April. . . .anyone want to buy my vote?

What’s the point if both states end up allocating delegates proportionally like all the other democrat contests? Why go through all the trouble so that one candidate can pick up five or ten more delegates than the losing candidate. They should just rock paper scissors for the nomination.

Obama wasn’t on the Michigan ballot. How do you proprotionately dispense delegates? There has been talk of simply counting all “uncommitted” votes to Obama but that seems to run counter to the arguments made in Florida 2000. After all, who is to say that it wasn’t Edwards supporters that rejected Hillary.

Two big questions in my mind:

First, why did Florida and Michigan hold primaries if they knew their delegates wouldn’t be seated? It would have been messy but a whole lot cleaner if these weren’t “do over” scenarios.

Second, What happens to popular vs. delegate counts at the convention if Clinton has the delegates but Obama has the popular vote? That is the Florida 2000 scenario where Gore was “robbed” of the Presidency by the electoral count. The DNC spin machines will be in overdrive to explain how “the popular vote” should be discounted after all the crap that they have said about the Bush Presidency.

Me thinks their hanging chads are showing!
