Anita, it was the Secretary of State (a Republican) who brought the suit to take him off the ballot, with lawyers paid for by Republican SuperPacs... The Judge was the judge, remember he is not supposed to legislate from the bench, and it WASNT the Dems who were backing the lawyers or filed suit.
I report, you decide.

This issue is that it's a law. No? Just who's job is it to uphold the law?

Like I said... It was the Republicans that brought suit, and financed.
If it had been Ralph Nader or someone who would take votes away from Obama, you better believe that they would not have given a damn... its not about "upholding the law" its about partisan politics.
BTW- I wrote in Bukkake Boy Gary Johnson, never did a write in before.

Gordon, your link pretty much agrees with me..... I think where we differ is that I believe that it is a by-product of the process rather than the goal.

There were six or eight presidential candidates on my ballot. There usually are. It rarely makes much difference.

Most amusing. ;D I complain because his name should have been printed on the ballot statewide. Republican dirty little trick, just one more corrupt reason not to vote for them. David wont beat Goliath this time, but I acknowledge David's existence, and smell Goliath's stench

We had 12 presidential candidates on our ballot.
It took Mrs. Nola an hour and 45 minutes this morning. I just walked in from an hour wait. In twenty plus years I have never waited more than 5 minutes in our precinct. And we have had unprecedented numbers of early voters this year which I thought would siphon off some of today's numbers.
Where the hell are they all coming from? We are going to have an over abundance of hanging chads this year.

Where the hell are they all coming from? We are going to have an over abundance of hanging chads this year. I walked through this morning at 6:15am without a wait at all. Don't think I was there more than 10 minutes. edited to add: I had a green or libertarian choice for President besides the Romney-Obama choice.

Dirty trick? They broke no law. They're not necessarily mutually exclusive. You can break a law and it may or may not be a dirty trick. You can pull a dirty trick and it may or may not break the law. If the GOP is so confident about its candidate, why are they fighting competition? Don't they believe in letting the free market decide?

News update on the e.lection I just heard on SiriusXM satellite radio (and yes, you really *should* subscribe):
"According to our exit polls, the Democrats have been leading all day. However, this is likely to ch-ch-change once everyone else votes after getting out of work".

If the GOP is so confident about its candidate, why are they fighting competition? Don't they believe in letting the free market decide? Confident about its candidate? Where did you read that. I've never heard anyone make that statement. The fact is that the libertarian party in the great state of Michigan fucked up and didn't get their paperwork filed on time. Get real.

I would personally like to volunteer to drive Willard Mitty back to the planet Kolob. With Seamus riding on top. I guess my magic underwear was better than his magic underwear. It's time to self-deport, Governor ...
