Radio would be good for the so-called debates. We wouldn’t have to look at their mugs! The fingernail-on-blackboard screech on her-thighness is bad enough.

15 district delegates are to be allocated to presidential contenders based on the primary results in each of the state’s 15 congressional districts: each congressional district is assigned 1 (?) (pre-penalty 3) National Convention delegates and the presidential contender receiving the greatest number of votes in that district will receive all of that district’s National Convention delegates.

15 (pre-penalty 15 = 10 at-large, 2 bonus, plus 3 party leader National Convention Delegates are to be proportionally allocated to presidential contenders based on the statewide vote. The party leaders include the National Committeeman, the National Committeewoman, and the chairman of the Michigan’s Republican Party. These delegates will attend the convention as pledged delegates by virtue of their position.

A candidate must receive 15% of the statewide vote to be eligible to receive National Convention delegates. From those candidates meeting this threshold, proportionally allocate 15 (?) (pre-penalty 12) national convention delegates according to the statewide vote. Round factions to the nearest whole number (below 0.5 are rounded down, 0.5 and above are rounded up). If the end result is less than 15 (?) (pre-penalty 12) delegates, allocate 1 additional delegate to the candidate receiving the most votes statewide. If the end result is more than 15 (?) (pre-penalty 12) delegates, subtract 1 delegate from the candidate receiving the fewest votes statewide.

“This is really bad news for McCain”

He left Michigan earlier today, not even hanging around Michigan to give his concession speech. What a sore loser.

If you are right and I don’t believe you are, he is a great actor.

He is cooler than ice and he can take a punch. He never gets nasty. Note, I am a Fred person.

Your theory sounds like GWB wanting to go to Iraq to avenge his father.
