Michigan Smichigan

C: Ah, Michigan. The state whose economy has flopped like Laimbeer in the lane. And $3 a gallon gasoline is pounding nails in their collective coffin. Mitt's trying to ride his Daddy's legacy to his first win of note. Not going to happen. The ability for Independents to crossover gives McCantankerous the day.

And the word "Change" should qualify as waterboarding.

J: And the first talking head who says Hillary "won" Michigan needs to be cracked across the kneecaps with
dimension lumber.

When your opponents remove their names from the ballot, and
the delegates aren't recognized by your party, you don't get any
momentum from the "win".

C: This little gem from the Hucklebee on the Michigan trail: "[Some of my opponents] do not want to change the Constitution, but I believe it's a lot easier to change the constitution than it would be to change the word of the living God, and that's what we need to do is to amend the Constitution so it's in God's standards rather than try to change God's standards..."

What does he want this country to be, the new Iran? That's all the world needs is one more religious fanatic telling people how to live... And Geezus, what ever happened to separation of Church and State? It's MY Constitution too.

J: Wow. Nice find there. I swear, every time I get close to thinking "Y'know, Huck's not all bad. If he gets the nomination, and wins in November, it wouldn't be too awful- kind of a more right-wing Carter", he goes and does something like this.

I know it takes more than the desire of a President to amend the Constitution, but the fact that he's saying this stuff is a look into the man's mind. Yeah, he's playing to his base right now, but every Democratic operative needs to etch this quote into granite just in case he gets the nomination. That one, and "Science changes with every generation and with new discoveries, and God doesn't. So I'll stick with God if the two are in conflict." Because, y'know, admitting mistakes and progressing intelligently is bad.

And Huckabee must hate shrimp, as well:

C: Breaking News: With 1.98% of precincts reporting in the Michigan Democratic Non-Primary Primary, Gravel has .44% of the vote. Meaning someone voted for him. In Michigan. In Winter. That, my friend, is commitment.

C: Wow, did I ever miss this call. Congrats to the new Governor of Michigan Willard, you pandered your way to victory. Sweet, sweet lies trump truth, what the hell was I thinking.

And congratulations to Hilary for soundly trouncing Uncommitted, 55% to 40%.
