Yesterday was Michigan's Primary...sort of. With no Democratic delegates and only 4 candidates on the ballot, Michigan's role for the Democratic side was simply to get some results in the media. This made me slightly hopeful. One of the candidates left on the ballot was Dennis Kucinich. He's also the only Democratic candidate that campaigned in

I loves me some dennis kucinich.

Hillary is shady, Obama is ok, and Edwards is a scum-sucking trial lawyer. I could never vote for him.

At this point I have no idea who I'll vote for.

When does Ohio get to vote? I think about the only one of the top three I could support if nominated would be Obama. I managed to get behind Kerry last time, but that was more telling of my feelings for Bush.

Not until March 4.

By then the candidate will probably be chosen.

doesn't matter anyway, because I'm a registered independent... and in Ohio one must belong to a political party in order to vote in that party's primary.

Which is a shame, because for as long as I've been eligible to vote... and this will be my 5th presidential election... the person I've most wanted to be president has never made it out of the primaries. I've always had to settle.

Further, thanks to the "Electoral College" my vote has never counted anyway, because I've never voted for the person who won my state.

As you can tell, I'm a little raw. :)
