God, that's just stupid.

This is why I hate both parties.

Kucinich is on the ballot but this time unlike last time he doesnt seam to running that hard.Gravel is also on the the ballot..matter of fact I called the Gravel campaign last summer & told them they ought to just campaign in Mich.

I thought they should steal a line from Rocky's '64 Oregon primary victory over Goldwater "He cared enough to come."

Yes it is crazy how we nominate candidates & thats what Sen Levin is trying to change.

The Senator is trying to turn out votes,in the primary,AGAINST the DNC rules & have a floor fight on changing the way its done.

The Senator wants the Fla(who have also been stripped)& Mich delegation to unite in the first step floor fight to be seated & then the broader rules on the nominating process

Maybe we should just have 10 weeks of primaries, five states a week, each state's primary week picked by lottery.

Super Tuesday now is basically going to be a national election day, for all practical purposes.

Something besides what we have now.

If this thing goes to covention..the floor fights on seating Mich & Fla will be fierce.

Clinton will have a chunk of the unseated delegates in Mich(no clue on Fla)

If those Mich delegates would put Clinton over the top

Obama's campaign of change will shift to a chicago shut Mich down floor fight.

I agree its stupid, the candidate will be chosen by the convention anyway.

I'm curious. Do you think both candidates, Republican and Democrat, will be chosen at the conventions?

The GOP seems less settled than the Democrats at this point.

Al Gore's vice presidential candidate Liberman is now for King George. John Kerry's vice president pick was John Edwards. Kerry now supports Obama.

If they can't decide on each other, how is an informed electorate supposed decide on them - much less an uniformed electorate.

Uncommitted for President!

"The mind is like a parachute, it only works when it's open."

Somebody was saying today...Mich was rocked by Wallace's win in '72.

Like Knox County..'72 remains the highest turn-out in Mich Democratic primary history.

For decades Mich democrats restricted voting..so that wouldn't happen again.But the rules have loosened up.Open Primary tues.

I dont agree with Kos..start messing in Republican primaries & you may get screwed.I mean would Kos take the blame if indeed his ploy worked & Romney wins Mich & then beat us in the fall?

If you dont like the way this primary/nominating system works vote uncommitted & let Sen Levin take to the floor.

Plus I'm for Obama.So I want uncommitted to take unseated Mich delegates..not Clinton.

The ABC primary..anybody but carter
NJ '76

Jerry Brown got in to late to put up a delegate slate.
So he put up an uncommitted slate.
A vote for uncommitted was a vote for Brown.

Labor folks were holding out hope for HHH.
So they got behind Brown's uncommitted slate.

So a vote for uncommited was a vote for Brown
But really a vote for HHH.

Uncommitted won the '76 NJ primary

It didn't matter
Daley said Ohio was the ballgame
Both NJ & Ohio were the same day

Jima won Ohio & the nomination

As you can see Ive enjoyed this thread

oh yea the '72 Mich primary was the day after Wallace was shot

oh yea II...in '66 Georgia Republicans flocked to the Democratic nomination runoff for Governor.They voted for Lester Maddox.No way GOP nominee,Bo Calloway,could lose to Lester.Shit happens KOS.

Didn't bother with the 76 primary, the outcome was predetermined.

I lived in Georgia.

Voted in the general
For the novelty and all.

I waited in line an hour
in the middle of the afternoon.

Canival atmosphere - children leaving on busses were shouting out the window -

"vote for the Peanut Man!".

Election officials were grimacing
but what could they do?

You don't arrest a busload of tots.
