Politics is weird this year, isn’t it?
It sure is, especially here in MI. The Dem ballot is a mess -- everyone pulled off their names except Hillary, Kuchinich (who tried), Mike Gravel and Richardson (who dropped out). Write-ins will spoil the ballot and lots of crossover votes to mess with the GOP are expected.
Many educated people have fled the state and most of what's left are those on welfare, auto workers haunting idle plants, overpaid educators and government managers. The budget mess last fall made Michigan a joke and we're expected to see 8.5% unemployment this year.
I think I've got a case of political burnout. Once the primary is over I'm tuning out for a few months.
I'm STILL glad we don't have a landline phone.
