My forecast for the Michgan Primary on January 15th

[Xipe Totec]

Mainstream media pundits will have their asses handed to them again.

That will be the third, "we didn't see that coming" moment.

[Seen the light]

1. Michigan is irrelevant in case you were unaware

Don't have a link, but google it to see why Michigan is a non-factor this year. Nevada and SC are next.

3. I'm sure people in Michigan will take exception to being called irrelevant

but thank you for your input.

[Le Taz Hot]

5. Dude

Michigan only has one Democrat on the ballot: Hillary Clinton. The OP isn't saying Michiganders are irrelevant, he/she is saying the election is irrelevant.

9. Got it - It's January 19 in Nevada then

Here is the schedule:

7. It is, sadly, irrelevant this year

And I'm a displaced Michigander.

Michigan moved up it's primary, which broke the rules and they were stripped of all of their Democratic delegates. Most Dems (including Obama and Edwards) pulled their names off the ballots and haven't been campaigning in Michigan. Hillary's on the ballot, for reasons unknown.

10. That decision may bite us in the ass come November

[Fearless]

2. Any other "we didn't see that coming " moments?

How about... Ghouliani flatulence propels him into third place? Wait, maybe that would be Thompson showing signs of life... :rofl:

[Xipe Totec]

4. Yea, that was priceless!

:rofl:

[book_worm]

6. I think most of the candidates aren't even on the ballot in MI

and there delegates won't be seated at the convention. It was a big story a couple of months ago.

11. The pugs are still running there,

and the media could still screw it up.

8. Kucinich will get more than 2%?

:shrug:

[Bozita]

12. A lot of Michigan Dems are gonna crossover and vote in the Repug primary.

13. They did eight years ago and gave a win to McCain
