Hmm, I voted for Fred in the “first” Michigan primary.

It’ll be interesting deciding what I should do with my second vote.

What morons.

While on the subject of “re-do” elections….

It is clear that the Democrats really didn’t mean it when they said that delegates wouldn’t be seated if they held their primaries early. How many states, next time around, do you suppose will ignore the threat of meaningless penalties?

Time for serious bipartisan talks to better handle primaries in states where public funding is used. For starters, meaningless insignificant states should not be the deciding factor in how early influential states hold their primaries. It is high time the pandering to Iowans and New Hampshirians is replaced by a meaningful schedule of primaries.

The cost? Perhaps as much as $12 million

Re-running Primary elections never fed a hungry child.

So they stripped them of the votes to punish them…and now they are giving them back to make them the most influential state…typical liberals, giving power to the losers, awarding the cheaters.

A. That’s $2million more than the combined primary in January..is that inflation?

B. The Michigan Democrats allow internet voting, which has been approved by the Justice Dept.

C. UAW President Ron Gettelfinger is one of the negotiators in this.

D. The other candidates, Obama, had the opportunity to add his name to the ballot, but allowed to let the deadline pass. I am curious why he chose to have his name on Florida’s ballot.

must be nice not having to follow the rules, especially when they are pre-agreed upon, set in stone rules. hahahaha, I’m going to choke on my own saliva

Sounds like Kwame Kilpatrick might have some free time soon, maybe this disgraced Democrat might be able to join up with Gov. Spitzer to piece this thing together.

Michigan could use that money to retrain the displaced citizen blue collar workforce.

For what? What jobs will they take?

There aren’t any available.

LOL, this state is a disaster.

This cash should be going to the goddamn roads, which are in awful shape.

Oh please do it…it will be delicious.

An incompetent Governor of a crumbling state, a Mayor who may have had a stripper killed and is a complete thug piece of crap, these two maniacs, Barry O’Bama’s spiritual advisor hating on Whitey…

Please, please, please.

Democrats: acting just like the girl who always says “no”, but has a reputation for being an easy lay once you get more than two glasses of wine into her; then on the morning after, she always manages to get angry about “what wine does to her”.

Meanwhile I think the absolute funniest thing about this primary season so far is how the Democrats thought nothing of rallying their voters to throw the lever for Mitt in Michigan, but now are all pissy about how Republicans are doing the same thing to them lately, in [open] primary after primary.

If a state allows open primaries, then I hope that every Republican voter who understands the strategic importance of casting a vote for a Democrat primary contender – that an (almost) even Democrat primary match means that party will spend precious campaign dollars tearing itself to pieces before its final candidate can begin campaigning against McCain – will act accordingly.

We need to ensure that Obama has barely enough of a lead going into the Democrat Convention so that he requires a significant push by the “superdelegates” to be selected as the Democrat nominee.

And then we need a 527 with enough stones to hammer the point home that the Democrat nominee was selected, not elected.

/if only the Republican Party hadn’t abandoned its Conservative base…sigh!!!

FEARLESS PREDICTION:

SCOFLA will require the State of Florida to pay for a re-vote, which will be held by conventional means on June 10, 2008.

Man, there is no part of this I don’t like.

Rush Limbaugh has the right idea. We need to vote for whichever Democrat is behind at the moment. Just like Ronald Reagan’s policy toward Iraq and Iran: keep them at each other’s throats as long as possible.

Oh another thought,since the Liberals screwed this up
and this is going to cost $12 million. What does that say
about the liberals ability to manage business and manage
money!

Since the media are finally looking at all of Obama’s relationships, like Rev. Wright and the earmarks thing, this is looking better and better. Hillary and Obama will continue to beat each other up and now Hillary has something to work with.

Where are the voices for charity when $12 million wasted flushes down the toilet? Michigan could use that money to retrain the displaced citizen blue collar workforce.

Bill and Ted’s Excellent adventure when they

Isn’t this like telling your kids you are grounded for misbehaving, then letting them go out to the friday night dance? I thought this was punishment for not following the rules. Typical progressive philosophy, don’t follow through on your threats, improper behavior begets no punishment, we ALL get a trophy.

What do you mean that the vote has to be held by June 10th to count under the DNC rules…Yea RIGHT HAHAHAHA….

C’mon Dems! You can do it!! Yes you can!!!

Just keep digging that hole you’re in deeper…and deeper…and deeper….

ALL THIS because the Democratic Chairman won’t eat his words. Make hell freeze over. Start over.

It is enough to make an adult rethink WHY am I still part of this party? Madness is contagious, and many there are who thrive in it.

So long as no GOP money and no taxpayer money is used, leave it to the jackass to sort through.

I got a better idea. Let’s redo the whole campaign starting from Square One, on both sides of the aisle. Only difference is that we get a bunch of candidates that everyone can agree on are all qualified to be the next Commander-in-Chief, and not the current Three Stooges we are looking at (and Ralph Nader doesn’t even count).
