As Democrats, we should be rooting for Romney on Tuesday in Michigan
Tuesday is the big day for the republicans in Michigan. The race is primarily between Romney and McCain. Huckabee is a close third. We should be rooting for Romney. A Romney win continues to twist the republican nomination process, putting SC into question for McCain. And like I've said before, the more chaos, the better.

To make it more interesting, 2 polls show Romney ahead. http://tpmelectioncentral.com/2008/01/two_polls_give_romney_the_lead_in_michigan_primary.php

In the Democratic race, I recommend voting uncommitted. Uncommitted delegates will be seated at the convention.

1. Having lived under a Romney regime in MA
There is no way I would root for him under any circumstance. I don't want him having the slightest chance of getting into the WH.

2. I understand that.
I don't think he'll be the winner, but he can cause the republicans lots of problems.

6. I feel the same way
I'll never ever forget how he made fun of the "liberals" in MA while he was still governor!!

4. Leave Michigan Alone!!!

;) This isn't about Michigan. This is about the republicans.

What are you sensing? Who's going to win the republican race? Are the ads about voting uncommitted widespread?

10. Darling...you're not catching on...no offense. You think the country as whole is pissed?
You ain't seen nothing when it comes to Michigan. We've had 7 years of nothing from the Federal government, business, the media, and republicans. Some blame democrats as well. It doesn't matter.

We're willing to fuck over anyone and everyone at this point.

So count on nothing and anything. I have never seen people in this state as angry as they are now. Bring up transferring water from the Great Lakes to Georgia and you're sure to get a backside full of buckshot.

For anyone with a candidate, good luck. The only ones with bullshit in place of eyesight are the fundie's.

7. Maybe We Need to Do This in Other States as Well
I think Romney is beatable, and he is the least dangerous Repiglickan running.

If they nominate McCain or Huckabee it could go very badly for us.

9. If Romney gets Michigan, Huckabee has a good shot in SC.
And the chaos train rolls on.

12. I disagree about Romney not being dangerous
He lied well enough to get elected governor of the bluest state in the country. You haven't seen even half of the duplicity he's capable of.

13. RELATIVELY Harmless, I Said
They're all dangerous, any of them might get (s)elected. Mittens less so than Cain or Huckster.
