Well, it's been quite a week here in the great state of Michigan--everyone's been going gaga because we mattered in a primary for the first time since Jesus was a Cub Scout. Willard won--we mattered so much because we voted for the man who is most likely to lose to Obama in November. Yawn.
I recently read an article that said the republican outlook for the future was getting weaker because they were increasingly becoming the party of old white people (in 2008 Obama took 95% of the black vote, 65% of the Latino vote, and 60% of the under 35 vote). The Free Press certainly did its part this week to confirm that: in the run up to last Tuesday's election they featured eight people discussing who they were going to vote for. One was black and voting for Obama (he was the only Democrat featured--not unfairly, the Democratic primary this week was non-binding and Obama was unopposed--hell, I didn't even bother to vote). The other seven were voicing their opinions on the republican candidates--to wit, all seven were white, the youngest was 44. and the second youngest was 55.
Can you say irrelevance, boys and girls? The republicans are on the path to it.
Peace,
