OK, so Michigan held a primary for Republican supporting voters to decide who is going to be their party's nominee for President of the United States of America. Now I know some of you will have made the mental leap to the Democratic Nevada caucuses and who to vilify and who to extol, and others will be girding their loins for Fred in SC, but for me a little reflection might pay a smallish dividend.
The pundits in the MSM are talking about the Republican Primary process as if it has some importance. That, in my humblest of opinions, is just a tiny slice of exaggeration. The fair people of the great state of Michigan took it upon themselves to be 'January 15th Deciders', and they sure did. And pray, what did they decide? Well as it turns out, not a lot.
Michigan has a population of 10,071,822.
Now whilst I recognise that not all of these folks are registered to vote, in a democracy those registered are only of equal importance to those not registered, for they all get to have Social Security numbers - the greatest tool for equality that humankind has yet to devise. And some are kids, and maybe some of those kids are a deal sharper than MSM pundits and thus should be listened to.
So back to my question. It seems that they overwhelmingly decided that Maestro Giuliani should not be chosen as the Republican candidate.
In fact 99.7547% of the population of Michigan decided that Giuliani should not be POTUS. Mike Huckaby drew the opprobrium of 98.2441% of the state's population. The so-called winner of the election, Mittus Romnius, former Governor of the colony of Massachusetts, held sway with support from 3.3543% of good Michigan people.
And so Governor, with the full, enthusiastic support of 3.3543% of the population of your home state, forward with momentum to South Carolina!
Aaah, 'tis democracy in full flow.
Apologies if the numbers aren't completely accurate, I'm using an American calculator, the same one used by MSM pundits.
