		<description>&lt;p&gt;I’m in Ann Arbor and voted this a.m. for Dodd.   I was the only voter in the polling place at 9:30, but they said they’d had a good turnout so far - about 20 voters.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I voted for Dodd because:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Not comfortable with Clinton’s position on the war.&lt;br /&gt;
Obama doesn’t want my vote - he took his name off the ballot.&lt;br /&gt;
Edwards doesn’t want my vote - he took his name off the ballot.&lt;br /&gt;
Dodd’s stance on the wiretapping immunity.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I considered voting for Kucinich, but he’s only on the ballot because he screwed up trying to remove his name.  So he didn’t want my vote either.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I didn’t want to vote uncommitted and have my vote go to some smoke-filled room of MI pols.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I’m pretty grumpy about the whole thing.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I would like to suggest we have Japanese game show designers create our debate parameters and slogans for the candidirt.   I would prefer some bloodshed just so we know it is real.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Meddle is the right word. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I said it at DKos, I’ll say it here: butt out.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Get your own f*cked up primary.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Crossing party lines is NOT going to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.michiganmessenger.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=661&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;fix this mess&lt;/a&gt;; if the DNC ultimately decides to seat/award delegates from Michigan, voting for Romney or any other POS Republican means increasing Clinton’s share of delegates.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;And Clinton is the reason why our primary in Michigan got so f*cked up in the first place.  What did she promise a couple of blondes in our state?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Please find someplace else to meddle.  Jeebus, we’re already on point for the recession the rest of you haven’t seen; you want to jack our electoral process around more, too?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;This is kind of the same trick played last year on &lt;em&gt;‘American Idol’&lt;/em&gt;.  Vote for the worst.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;The Kos complaint isn’t worth the paper it’s writtin on since Michigan is an Open Primary state. It’s not going anywhere IMHO.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Over at Kos, they’ve cited &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?court=US&amp;vol=479&amp;invol=208&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;TASHJIAN v. REPUBLICAN PARTY OF CONNECTICUT, 479 U.S. 208 (1986)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Michigan is comporting as to both parties.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;LOL==&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I’m been following EW’s info on her thread, and this, and I’m learning but still confused as to Michigan.  The fact that the Rethugs are alarmed is amusing–and that they are claiming dirty tricks is supreme irony.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;It doesn’t look like any law is being broken.  In an open primary all registered voters are qualified.  I used to live in SCarolina, &amp; 4 years ago wingnut (baby Rushs) radio hosts were trying to get Repugs to vote for Holy Joe in the Dem primary, since there wasn’t a Repug pres primary.  Nothing illegal here, folks.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I didn’t know that about Huizenger.  I pass a lot of Mitt signs and they are so big they could fill a dumpster with 3 of them.  I guess I’ll have to give up oranges for lent instead of lentils this year.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
