Michigan/Arizona Primary Open Thread

I don’t expect you to care about the Insane Clown Posse any more than I do, but I was born in Michigan so I suppose I should say something about it.

On the Yuper side my Grands had one of the very first cable companies since reception was extremely bad.  On the Troll side my Greats were early investors in GM and Smuckers and basically cut off my Grandad because he married a poor crippled girl.

We visited Troll side most often and it’s flat.  The big ski hill is a mountain of garbage and you can see the weather coming for miles and miles.  Gran knew Mike Moore and didn’t like him, thought he was a smart ass.

One thing a lot of people don’t internalize is that Michigan has a large population of Dutch Reformed Calvinists of the George C. Scott Hardcore type which explains their swing state status.  I’ve been to Grand Rapids and I found most of the people to be pleasant enough, but we didn’t talk politics.

Arizona has more Mormons than you think (like Nevada).

Whatever happens I’m pretty sure we can count on continued hilarity.

  3. What a surprise.

  4. Mitt Romney will win the Arizona Republican primary and its 29 delegates, CNN projects based on exit polls.

    All polls are now closed in Arizona and Michigan, where another GOP primary occurred today.

    Romney, who is also locked in a close battle with Rick Santorum in Michigan, is 1,983 votes ahead of Santorum in that state, with 17% reporting.

  5. Romney can say, “Oh I still won even after the Democrats tried to steal the primary.” The whole “vote for Santorum” thing is so stupid.

  6. Seems Operation Hilarity wasn’t all that a success. I really don’t see how it much matters which clown they nominate, there are still no options.

  7. Michigan is an apportioned state, so the delegates get divided according to congressional district. Santorum is winning in CDs 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 10, 13. (He’s fallen slightly behind in CD 5.) If that holds, he takes 17 of 30 MI delegates. So how is Romney the winner?

    Operation Hilarity may just have worked.
