Today is the big day!

Wow, good looking sons! Didn’t know anything about Mitt’s children.

My family seems to have sons off years of wars, so few served and some who were the right age had to stay home to care for parents.

Serving in our military is an option...thankful for those who do, understand why there are those who don’t.

The DNC stripped Michigan of delegates as punishment for moving the primary up.

I proudly cast my vote for... FRED THOMPSON!

[darkmatter]

“I don’t think we should attack or question McCains time as a POW......the man endured horrible torture.....his politics are fair game....but not his time as a POW.”

Agreed! I am completely anti-McAmnesty, but his experience being tortured in a Vietnamese jail makes his military record as a patriot unassailable.

Personally I wouldnt mind having McCain as Secretary of Defense, but as President he would be a disaster to the conservative movement.

There is plenty to attack McCain on, without resorting to disrespectful attacks on a war hero. Lets be respectful and show that we have more class than Kos Kidz.

If I said six sons, I’m sorry. (I don’t think I did.) I meant to use just “6” because Romney is male and should be included in the number.

[restornu]

You have not been stalked relentless by TN on the religion forum I have!

even here there was no logic from her just attacking me!

[Politicalmom]

None of these people will try to get Romney supporters in SC to vote for FRed. Not one.

[StarFan]

Interesting, too, that Huckabee appears to be down around 15%. I had the imression he was expecting better than that out of Michigan. He sure spent a lot of time there

Just heard that Huckabee's campaign is surviving on a shoe string and that his son was seen removing and carrying his Dad's luggage from the plane.

"In MI nobody under 15% will get one delegate. Fred was at 5%. It was pretty clear that your vote was going to do your candidate no good, but it did help McCain. But, like you said... it’s your perogative."

This coming from someone who lives in CA. Talk about a meaningless vote.

[rintense]

True. Pretty much why I voted for Fred today.

[Dog]

LOL!

:-)

[RatsDawg]

Well said.

[Beagle8U]

You posted that as if the crap in quotes was mine . It wasn’t!

[redgirlinabluestate]

Tell me about it.

[billmor]

“..all except Hillary, so basically she’s running unopposed.
I didn’y catch the details but I just heard mention on Fox that exit polls say she’s losing to ‘uncommitted’. This could be interesting.”

Now that is very interesting, because at the nomination, the Mich delegates supposedly are not being counted but you could bet Hillary would be arguing to get those delegates in a close battle..BUT, if the nomination goes to a second round of balloting, all of the delegates will have to be counted and then Barack has a fighting chance against her by saying all those ‘uncommitted’ votes were votes for him and that would be a strong arguing point...Man, the sentiment against Hillary must be very strong if ‘uncommitted’ is leading in the count..

[restornu]

hey Fred did not serve nor did his sons!

[RatsDawg]

You don’t want to admit that you voted for Fred Today, the Mitt-bots will take it out on you.

[mdittmar]

Hillary will win and get the delegates

Michigan has no dem delegates to give,0,nada,zip.

[mylife]

Its a darn shame because She would be so easy to beat in the general election.

[RatsDawg]

Are the uncommitted’s winning?

Edwards could use the same argument though.

[ShadowDancer]

It was pretty clear that your vote was going to do your candidate no good, but it did help McCain. But, like you said... it’s your perogative.

So I should vote for your candidate, cause you think so? How cute is that?
