Today was Michigan Primary Day but really the only options were on the Republican side since the Democrats (except Hillary) took their names off the ballot when ordered by the Democratic Party leaders.
You see Michigan had the nerve to schedule their primary earlier than the Democratic Party rules allowed. I am still thinking how we as a state can teach the Democratic Party leaders a lesson for being so anal; I will come up with something wait and see.
Anyway, I asked around the office who was voting and I did not get a big positive response. I followed up with why not and got the basic – I don’t like anybody on the ballot.
Further questioning brought out an overall disillusionment with all politicians and political parties.
Ever since the Iraq War became a sort of non-issue the fire went out and now the economy has taken the war’s place as top issue and that does not generate the same emotions as the war did.
In Michigan, it is between Romney and McCain. If Romney does poorly here, he may as well hang it up since he was born and raised here. Many say he is just full of bullshit saying what people want to hear but not really meaning it. McCain on the other hand is projecting himself as a straight, honest shooter not afraid to tell you the truth.
The prime example was the jobs Michigan has lost in the auto industry. Romney is telling us he will get those jobs back and McCain is telling us those jobs are gone forever and we need to re-train for other jobs – who do you think is closer to reality?
I voted for Giuliani but he didn’t even campaign here or anywhere else for that matter. He is hoping Florida will give him momentum but we are told he is out of money and has asked his people to work for free for now. He has no momentum and that is why he is not taking in any donations; people feel he has already lost.
He was leading nationally as a Republican – what the hell happened? McCain fired his advisors and is now a front-runner – who is running Rudy’s campaign?
Oh well – lets wait till after 8PM to see who won.
