A Motor City Snoozer

JSF called me up and reminded me that today was the Michigan primary. Despite my slow phase-out of this blog, we are providing left-right d-list blog coverage of the primaries for our tens of readers and that's quite an awesome responsibility. On the Democratic side of things, Michigan is a non-event. They went against the wishes of party establishment and moved their primary date up too early and for that offense, they lost their delegates. While challenging the powers that be and shaking up the status quo is usually a good thing, picking your battles wisely is essential. Now the Michigan democrats have no say in who their nominee is. They went against the family and will soon be taking a rowboat ride with Howard Dean. On the republican side, I couldn't give a rat's ass. They're calling it for McCain, but as polling in New Hampshire shows it's really anyone's game. As much as I'd love to see that plasticine Ken doll Romney really tank in his original home state, Democrats for Romney bring up a very good point in that keeping him in the race will "keep this circular firing squad of jerkos" going. I'm not sure if Giuliani has been giving his "I was great on 9/11" speaking tour in this state, so we'll see how he does. However Ron Paul does, his wingnut followers will declare some kind of victory. I'm not sure if Michigan has enough of those far right mega-churches to make a difference for Huckabee the theocrat. And is that guy from Law and Order still in the race? For more detailed and less sarcastic Hillary Conspiracy coverage of the Republican horse race, be sure to check out Valley of the Shadow.
