That 'uncommitted' Dem vote helped Romney sink McCaniac as well... all in all, a good night for us. Now on to Fred's turn in SC.

Polls are varying, McCain was leading a little while ago.

I listened to the voice of the enemy, "urban talk" radio WCHB AM Detroit for the last couple of mornings. They have a morning host named Mildred Gaddis who is the female version of the convicted liar except more nuanced. Her show is a reflection of thinking in the ahyphena communisty. Numerous callers have gone on and on about how the national party has dissed Michigan by its actions relative to the Michigan Primary, and thus an "uncommitted" vote was the way to show their displeasure. Apparently, over the weekend, the message got circulated in the "community" by national ahyphena fuehrers to choose "uncommitted" simply because of the ethnic makeup of Hussein.
Underlying it all is that the Michigan ahyphena community has never really been all that hot for white candidates of any party except for perhaps former governor Milliken (RINO-Traverse City), and the 1st black president. But, even, "they time have passed."

Uncommitted trounced Duncan Hunter in the Michigan GOP race.

Yeah, that 17% of Republicans voting for “uncommitted” was a real downer. I hope they’re looking for a real conservative. By the fall maybe, just maybe, he’ll be our candidate.

FOX is 'Anybody-but-Fred'... FOX is the illegal immigrant lobby.

I think they were mostly Democrats who got confused.

That is so true, and so bizarre. Why do you think that is?
To: counterpunch
You may be right. But I know a lot of Republicans who are definitely in a funk, thanks to George W. Bush.

I was very disappointed that “Uncommitted” didn’t win a majority or plurality, just so I’d know that Hillary would lose that much more sleep.

Uncommited was the anti-Hillary black vote.Thanks to her efforts to portray Republicans as racists her “it took a DEMOCRAT president to make MLK relevant” came out sounding like,”it took a WHITE MAN to make him relevant” in the ears of many blacks—especially the whitey haters.
To: Happy Rain
What Hillary doesn't mention is that it took a REPUBLICAN to end slavery.

"You may be right. But I know a lot of Republicans who are definitely in a funk, thanks to George W. Bush." I believe you but Frankly I'm puzzled that so many people can be so brain dead. Bush isn't running again and what's done is done. His actions in the last year of his presidency have shown a return to more conservative principles in any case but we have to now look AHEAD. If they want to act like little children and sulk then they and us will get exactly what we deserve in November.

McCain opposed the wildly successful Bush tax cuts, remember? And Romney wants to give $20 billion of your money to Ford and GM - no need to build high-quality cars that don't handle like a Sherman tank (300M) when you can just get a check from Uncle Sugar.

Indeed,the founding of the GOP was based largely on the abolition of slavery—not to mention it took the Republicans in congress to pass civil rights legislation in the 60s-the Dems kept filibusting it.
To LBJ the whole thing was about getting votes.
“We’ll have the “N-word plural” voting Democratic for years after this!” the old Texas redneck was heard to say after the bills passed.
He was right and racist.
To: SatinDoll
Zogby just released a poll with Fred at 6%. It seems that reputable polls have Fred in a statistical tie with Huck and Romney, with Huck in front of Fred by 3 points. It appears McCain right now is in the lead.
That said, Rasmussen is the only poll out since the debate, which is kinda strange. I think it was probably accurate, but Zogbys poll will surely bring Fred averages down. They're just trying to influence the outcome which hasn't worked yet. I hope to see some real polls soon.
