Obama gets 69% of African American Vote in Michigan

(According to our friends the exit polls)

Is it just me or did the Democratic primary in Michigan tonight seem incredibly narcissistic? First, Clinton doesn’t pull her name off the ballot. Then, the Clinton Camp comes out and says that the “Michigan vote sends a message.” Umm, yeah, that even with Hillary as the only front runner on the ticket, she still only gets 59% of the vote. So that means, even when they know their vote doesn’t count and when they know that, on paper, there isn’t technically another choice, over 40% of voters still don’t want her. Oh snap. Oh, and also, Kucinich came in third in Michigan tonight. Does that mean that he now meets the new MSNBC debate rules? Can he join now?

OK, I confess that I did not watch the Dems debate tonight. (Though I’m sure it was a million times more riveting than the Italian historiagraphy of WWII I just watched that left me feeling oddly sad and melancholy. Not cool people. Not cool.) Anyway, I hope to watch it as soon as MSNBC’s video sections decides to start working or as soon as someone gets it on YouTube.

But let’s talk about those Republicans. Romney? Hmm…interesting. I mean, I don’t like any of the three conservative front runners but it looks like their involved in a threesome that’s hotter than any conservative page scandal. I can’t decide if it’s prophetic or coincidental that Las Vegas is their next stop.

Another thing to consider… Hillary is always going to do well with the Party Faithful…. and who wants to show up for a vote that doesn’t matter anyway.

Obama’s strength is in his ability to energize and get young, disenfranchised, and formerly uninterested voters to the poll… so this Michigan vote should be a huge disappointment for HC.

Hey you should have some interesting opinions and comments on the Daily show. Jonah (the pantload) Goldberg is going to talk about his new book Liberal Fascism. Maybe you could help him understand Mussolini and his rise to power.
