But (wink wink) keeping "options open" on letting Party Officials decide how the people "would have voted" had they been worthy of that honor.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Want to guess who the vast majority of Michigan and Florida's delegates will be assigned to?<BR/><BR/>Hint, it rhymes with Wildebeest.hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04341805107057968097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2646772639494369714.post-68561910539561932672008-01-16T10:57:00.000-05:002008-01-16T10:57:00.000-05:00I saw where Michigan voted Clinton as the top Demo...I saw where Michigan voted Clinton as the top Democratic hopeful...<BR/><BR/>What the hell are ya'll thinkin'?? ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2646772639494369714.post-13865819893398658682008-01-16T08:12:00.000-05:002008-01-16T08:12:00.000-05:00No Bunny...Every Mormon I've ever known is weird!!...No Bunny...<BR/>Every Mormon I've ever known is weird!!!!<BR/>G...xoxoxG-Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14968807697181554781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2646772639494369714.post-12715341125300103082008-01-16T08:04:00.000-05:002008-01-16T08:04:00.000-05:00That whole situation is pretty screwed up.

However the power-brokers within the gop had other ideas. I'd go so far as to say 9/11 would not have happened if McCain were President right now.Sandmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05987840908368680016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2646772639494369714.post-62947588768485671792008-01-15T22:45:00.000-05:002008-01-15T22:45:00.000-05:00Good for you for voting!Good for you for voting!Semi-Celibate Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12680843725002514218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2646772639494369714.post-26293276456459119032008-01-15T19:03:00.000-05:002008-01-15T19:03:00.000-05:00While I tend to lean Replicrat as opposed to Demop...While I tend to lean Replicrat as opposed to Demopublican, I find it those who support McCain for his plain speaking honesty inspite of some his whackiness...is usually what so many cuss Bush about.<BR/><BR/>No disrespect, and respect to your vote based on what you had to work with. Good for you for taking the time to think it through, and cast a vote. That in itself is more than far too many do not do in this country...but bitch after the election! :)ZigZagManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03124688107164515604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2646772639494369714.post-16804238881751794942008-01-15T17:28:00.000-05:002008-01-15T17:28:00.000-05:00I didn't vote today...but if I had it would have b...I didn't vote today...but if I had it would have been for McCain. I want to see Romney out of the race by tomorrow - on second thought, with that in mind, I should probably get off my ass and go vote for McCain before the polls close.<BR/><BR/>Obama has my vote so far.DJ MotorCityMonkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01395015368780442972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2646772639494369714.post-65917887809787582002008-01-15T17:19:00.000-05:002008-01-15T17:19:00.000-05:00A few years back, Molly got herself a gig working ...A few years back, Molly got herself a gig working at the polls for elections - she's one of the folks sitting behind the table, marking names in books. It's an interesting gig, but the cash value for the kids and me is that she's out from 6AM-10PM, so we have to fend for ourselves all day, and she's wasted when she finally does get home.<BR/><BR/>Funny thing is, she has to declare a party affiliation in order to work at the polls, so she declared herself a Republican. Well, we're Republicans only in the sense that we're REALLY not Democrats. But, in our town, declared Republicans are sufficiently rare that she instantly became the co-chair of her precinct, because the co-chair and the chair have to be of opposite parties, and there were no other Republicans in her precinct. . .<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I can't argue all that much with your analysis. Of the four Republicans who actually stand a chance to win, I could vote for any of 'em in November, except Giuliani. . .Desmond Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07829959101276150279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2646772639494369714.post-7000488003571932122008-01-15T15:46:00.000-05:002008-01-15T15:46:00.000-05:00I agree with much of your assessment of the Republ...I agree with much of your assessment of the Republican candidates and would have voted for McCain also in your position. I don't agree with him on all the issues, but at least I feel like he's going to say it the way he sees it not how his particular audience at the time would like him to see it.Trueselfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04376379968984585345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2646772639494369714.post-88261674616683546882008-01-15T15:15:00.000-05:002008-01-15T15:15:00.000-05:00Good for U!

The only difference is that I would vote Guliani because even though he is what he is, he fixed NYC.
