Well, Clinton is right, there needs to be a change in Michigan, the only state in recession, and the one in charge of it all is Governor Granhom – who supports Hillary.

Weel, seeing how well her decisions have done for Michigan, I think that is more of a death sentence than an endorsement.

Besides, the majority of Democrats in Michigan seem to be in favor of Obama.

Reminds me of he movie Brewster’s Millions, where he runs a campiagn for mayor – he doesn’t want to be mayor, everyone in this campaign are crooks…vote for NONE OF THE ABOVE.

He won.

They [Democratic "saboteurs"]certainly have the “right” to do this, but as I’ve said before, just because one has the “right” to do something doesn’t make it right.

I never said it was right. But this is the way it is. Leave the henhouse door open, and foxes will arrive.

Baklava, also wandering around in the theoretical, intones:

Leslie, It’s about honesty. The Dem voters voting for McCain don’t honestly want him as president. If you are saying they are honest then you are kidding YOURSELF!

Now where on earth did I say the Democratic McCain voters honestly wanted him as president?

Nowhere in the rules does it say your tongue will be cut off for lying. So let’s not blame the liars… let’s blame the rule makers?

Huh? What? There are rules for perjury, y’know. We don’t cut off tongues, but we do put people in jail. Just ask Marion Jones, disgraced professional track star.

You are funny.

Yes, quite.

Comte, however, with eyes fixed firmly on the here-and-now, points out:

But, hey, if the democrats want their rules to reflect thier own version of disenfranchisement, so be it….

Exactly right.

And anyway, it didn’t work. Game over. Romney wins! Romney wins!

On Hillary’s numbers… she’s toast. Without Obama in the race she really got dismal numbers.

On the Democrat side – right now Hillary has 55% with 97% counted. That has to either be a wash or a small defeat for her.

My prediction?

Fred Thompson in South Carolina!

Fredmentum!!!

MI’s solution is getting rid of the idiots who are running it, not more government programs.

Well said, Lorica. Michigan voters wanted a state government that was hostile to business and jobs and would do everything in its power to drive away employers. They got exactly what they voted for. It’s not the federal government’s role to undo the freely expressed choice of the Michigan electorate.

The lesson seems to be lost on the economic illiterates who vote here in New Jersey, unfortunately.

McCain is at least telling the truth that the jobs aren’t coming back and something needs to be done to re-train workers and re-orient the state’s economy.

Then let him run for Governor of Michigan. MI’s solution is getting rid of the idiots who are running it, not more government programs. – Lorica

That is an opinion. There’s a good basis for both opinions by Romney and McCain. The solution is not McCain’s government retraining program however.

McCain doesn’t have the solution. The solution probably isn’t one the government can or should provide. But at least he’s being honest.

So while McCain offers no hope and a bad solution. Romney offers hope and the better solution.

Romney isn’t offering any solutions. He’s simply creating a fairytale about going back to who things were 50 years ago. It’s a promise he shouldn’t be making. Of course, that’s what politicians do.

Romney is being a classic politician and just telling the people what they want to hear. McCain is at least telling the truth that the jobs aren’t coming back and something needs to be done to re-train workers and re-orient the state’s economy.

That is an opinion. There’s a good basis for both opinions by Romney and McCain. The solution is not McCain’s government retraining program however.

So while McCain offers no hope and a bad solution. Romney offers hope and the better solution.

Results of polices can be learned from history. So these statements of mine are better informed opinions (based on history) than your Neil. To ignore history is to ignore policies that other states have used to lure auto plants from all manufacturers including Ford, Mercedes, Toyota, Honda, etc. More cars are being sold today than 10 years ago. More cars are being manufactured in the U.S. than 10 or 20 years ago. Sure there is a good percentage made in other countries and sure there are parts being made in other countries and then only assembled here but to offer no hope and the wrong plan for the future isn’t the wisest choice for a pres candidate.

Additionally, people can learn new skills and should learn new skills always. I do myself. I update my skills every year for over 19 years in the computer field. You can’t continue to expect that you will have the job of attaching a headlamp to a fixture for 30 years. You have to advance and adapt. You have to have a union that allows a company to grow and have innovative ideas. You have to allow a company to prosper.

Companies and individuals are who need to move forward in a capitalist system.

Capitalism defined is – the people choosing who gets what resources.

When the government chooses who gets what resources that is socialism defined. Prosperity isn’t had that way.

Over the past several days, the only real movement in South Carolina’s Republican Presidential Primary has been a four-point gain for Fred Thompson and a five-point decline for Mike Huckabee.

The big winner from that trade-off is John McCain.

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey shows McCain at 28%, Huckabee at 19%, Mitt Romney at 17%, and Fred Thompson at 16%.

As far as I’m concerned… I don’t know one voter here in CA that wants John McCain. Where is the 28% for McCain? Is it manufactured by the pollsters?

That leaves Romney and Thompson in SC. Either one would be fine with me.

Romney is making promises he’ll never be able to keep and demonstrating everything that is wrong with political campaigns today.
