7. Nah, it's not bad snow. We're used to snow.
People just aren't voting. Everyone's pretty pissed off.

8. It's that our votes were taken away from us.
Would you vote if it didn't count at all or if only half of it counted?

People are pissed.

6. The worst I've ever seen it.
I was Dem #49 at 12:30, and only one other voter walked in while I was there.

9. Maybe the powers that be will get the message now ....
Their decision did not help the Democrats whatsoever.

10. The powers that be will be happy since
delegates are distributed by percentage of the vote. Their candidate will win however few or many turn out.

They obviously don't care about our reaction. Granholm is term limited, what are we going to do.

Happy MLK day and in his honor the MIchigan Democratic Party decided to silence the voices of those needing to be heard.

What CAN we do? (I already wanted someone to run against Stabenow after her BAD votes but will people still be angry in 4 years. They are betting not)

12. Then they'll be upset when we go red in the GE and blame us for it.
It'll all be Michigan's fault, just like it always is. Screw the dying state. Grrrr!
