Today is the big day!

[westmichman]

The whole state is on strike and Obama didn’t want to cross the union line.

[COBOL2Java]

“Uncommitted” is giving Hillary a run for her money.

[period end of story]

Romney leads: 39% to McCain 31%

Romney 3,383

McCain 2.751

To early to call?

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Every single one of them will be reinstated. The pressure on the DNC is going to be unbearable, especially if the contest is close.

How can it be close when Hillary is the only name on the ballot?

[TAdams8591]

I was thinking the same. Looks like they’re slow to call it for Mitt. We’ll see!

[stayathomemom]

The polls don’t close in the western UP until 9 EST. That may be the reason.

[codercpc]

I knew that word didn’t look right, so much for spell check!

Unfortunately blacks will return to the Dem plantation for the general election...even if the she-beast is the nominee.

Not so sure about that. If I were black and she dissed my favorite candidate I'd be ticked. Don't know what I'd do, but I'd be really angry. Then again...the plantation looks safer.

Cuz people can vote "uncommitted" against the Hildabeast.

[TeleStraightShooter]

Levin urged Michigan “Reagan Democrats” to cross over and vote for Mitt.

I respect Levin's constitutional opinion, and I think a POTUS Romney would be as good as any on this ballot on the question of nominating federal justices.... but why did he not pull a Andy Jackson and tell the Mass SC to pound sand when they legislated homosexual marriage........

[TheLion]

Fox news is still trying to push Romney out....jerks!

[Grunthor]

“If they viewed him as an apostate they would want him to lose to hillary.”

But Hillary is at least nominally a woman.
