So Michigan spoke, and we hear Romney and Clinton are the choices. Romney, really? I'm not sure what to say about him at this moment. Clinton...oh God, y'all already know what I'm going to say about her...so I won't. There's no need to get angry over your morning coffee, I'm talking about me here BTW.
The interesting thing I noticed, though, was the number of Uncommitted in the Democratic party. GOP had 17,971 (2%) feel they were uncommitted to a particular candidate. Whereas, the Dems had 236,723 (40%) not knowing who they wished to support. Bigger surprise, Obama was not on the list. It went 50% for Clinton, 40% uncommitted, then dropped to 4% for Kucinich, and 1% for Dodd. If someone could tell me what happened to Obama? That'd be awesome.
The GOP, looks like they pretty much know which horse they are backing this early in the stage. Oh and Thompson beat out Guillani :( Not helping my case here, but needed to point that out.

Hillary was the only one on the ballot for the Dems in Michigan. Michigan was stripped of their delegates when they moved their primary earlier in the year.
ah, that explains it. Thanks!
