The funny thing is: it’s pretty easy to predict how they’re going to come down at the end of the day.

They’ll go with the 50% solution. Just like the GOP (except the GOP managed to do it without pissing everyone off!). Republicans are only giving FL and MI half their delegations.

The Dems will do it slightly different...just to be slightly different. They’ll seat the entire delegations, but give each delegate only half a vote. That way everyone gets their free trip to Denver (Woopeee!).

I dont understand why PR and Guam can vote in the primarys but not the GE. It should be both or none. Who the heck makes up these rules???

Puerto Rico and Guam are not states. Under our Constitution, only states can participate in federal elections. The Democrats want to ignore the Constitution and let Puerto Rico, Guam and the District of Columbia vote in federal elections, because they think they would add more Dem seats in the House and Senate.

Primaries are local elections, so the state and national political parties get to control them. So the Dems allow the citizens of U.S. territories to vote in their primaries.

The Dems also use the Euro-socialist style proportional representation in their primary system, which is how they wound up in this year's primary struggle between Obama and Clinton.

No Democratic candidates file paperwork to accept write-in votes

Associated Press - January 4, 2008 6:14 PM ET

LANSING, Mich. (AP) - No write-in votes for presidential candidates in the January 15 primary will be counted.

Candidates had until 4 p.m. today to file a form indicating they would accept write-in votes. Secretary of state spokeswoman Kelly Chesney said none did.

All of the Republican candidates still in the race are on the state’s GOP ballot.

But only Hillary Rodham Clinton, Dennis Kucinich, Mike Gravel and Christopher Dodd are on the Democratic ballot. Dodd dropped out of the race yesterday.

Michigan Democratic Party Chairman Mark Brewer on Friday urged Democrats who support John Edwards, Barack Obama or Bill Richardson to vote for Uncommitted rather than wasting their vote by writing in their candidate’s name.
