michigan, way to screw it all up.

my great state has managed to really muck things up.

The clever people in Michigan who decided to get into a game of chicken with New Hampshire last fall over the timing of their Democratic primary should be having second thoughts this weekend.
Had Michigan Democrats not engaged in gamesmanship over the shape of the nomination calendar, they would be holding the premier contest on today's slate, by far the biggest and most influential of the events between Super Tuesday and next week's Potomac primaries, rather than the nonbinding event that was held Jan. 15.
Michigan Democrats long argued that the party needed a major industrial state playing an early and influential role in the nominating process. Instead, Michigan Democrats -- and those in Florida -- have left their party with a monumental problem: what to do about their delegations to the national convention in Denver in August.

what the post is basically saying is that this whole michigan/florida problem has the potential to completely destroy the democratic run—making it sort of like the auto industry (hiyo).

Other happy news from michigan:

speaking of the auto industry, ford will cut 8,000 jobs.

detroit still has a sweet mayor.

and terrelle pryor might now go to oregon.
