So I know many of my friends are sick of me talking about the Michigan Presidential Primary...but I have to vent some more!

As you know, Hillary Clinton, Christopher Dodd, Mike Gravel, and Dennis Kucinich are the only candidates that will be listed on our Michigan Primary next week. Obama, Richardson, and Edwards all removed themselves from the ballot.

That leaves a Michigan Democrat like myself very confused! I have a few options:
1. Vote Uncommitted - This is what the Michigan Democratic Party is recommending. Essentially I would be saying I want to vote "None of the Above" (Flash back to "Brewster's Millions!) and if more than 15% of the votes are for uncommitted, then the Michigan delegates will vote for whoever they wish.

2. Write-in - Write In is not an option anymore because Michigan Law requires write-in candidates to be pre-approved with state election officials - which none of the candidates have done.

3. Vote in the Republican Primary - This might be a good option. I really do not want to see Mitt Rommney win the republican nomination. I could vote for Rudy or McCain (or even Ron Paul!) This way my vote will at least be used for something.


The national democratic party has said that Michigan delegates will not be seated at the convention anyway. That means even if Clinton wins michigan, it will not count!

I just don't know what to do!!! I guess it really does not matter. I will support ANY democratic candidate for President in '08!

Happy voting Michigan
