Worst. . .Person. . .EVER.

Meet Shirley Nagle of Grosse Pointe Farms, Michigan. Kids in this suburban Detroit neighborhood cried foul after a she refused to give them candy because they were the children of Obama supporters. Watch:

Obama Punches Back in Flint

On the campaign trail yesterday at a town hall meeting in Flint, Michigan, Obama teed off on both McCain and Palin, pointing out that the McCain campaign's promises of reform ring hollow given the multitudes of lobbyists working for the Arizona Senator... Obama also directly targeted Palin on the Bridge to Nowhere, suggesting correctly stating that she "was for it until everyone started making a fuss about it". Watch:

"Revitalize" - New Obama Michigan Ad

Barack Obama's Michigan-specific ad asks "In tough times, who’ll help Michigan’s auto industry?" -

Hillary, your word must be your bond

Clinton was against counting FL and MI before she was for it:

DNC Chairman Howard Dean
Letter to Democratic Presidential Candidates
August 31, 2007

"As the leader of the Democratic Party, I strongly urge you to adhere to the 2008 Delegate Selection Rules...
The 2008 Delegate Selection Rules adopted by the full DNC at its August 2006 meeting clearly provide that only 4 states - Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire and South Carolina - may hold their respective contests prior to February 5, 2008. The findings of Non-Compliance included a 100% loss of pledged and unpledged delegates."

Hillary Clinton Campaign
Statement On The Four State Pledge
September 1, 2007

"We believe Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina play a unique and special role in the nominating process. And we believe the DNC's rules and its calendar provide the necessary structure to respect and honor that role. Thus we will be signing the pledge to adhere to the DNC approved nominating calendar."

Michigan's Exit Numbers

Hillary Clinton won yesterday's Michigan primary. Not a big surprise, as it was a win by default. The other two "top tier" candidates bowed to DNC wishes and removed themselves from the ballot in the Wolverine State. What WAS a surprise were the exit numbers. . .

According to CNN exit polling, 68 percent of blacks chose uncommitted, compared with 30 percent for the Democratic front-runner.

Forty-eight percent of all voters ages 18-29 voted uncommitted, compared with 43 percent for Clinton. The former first lady took more votes than uncommitted in all other age groups; the older the voters, the wider the margin was.

The racial disparity could be a bad sign for Clinton going into the South Carolina primary, where half of all Democratic voters are black.

Even setting the black vote aside, young voters are veering hard towards Barack Obama's message of change. These young voters were a major part of Obama's win in the state of Iowa, where black voters are quite scarce. As was the case in 2004, the kids are getting it right. This year however, unlike 2004, they seem to be turning out en masse and participating in the process. . .

Romney takes Michigan

Whew. . .



. . .the BEST possible outcome has been realized.

Democrats for Mitt

No. . .I haven't crossed over to the dark side, nor have I taken leave of my senses temporarily. I'm merely passing on a brilliant strategy offered up by kos - since Michigan Dems have no real choice in their primary next week, why not throw a wrench into the GOP machine. The DNC may have stripped the state's delegates, but Michigan's primary is open, leaving Dems the opportunity to repay republicans for past transgressions.
