So what if he’s withdrawn, he’s still on the ballot, and there’s no delegates at stake anyhow.
15% for Dodd would send a message to Michigan’s Senators, Reps, and hopefully the rest of the Congressional Dems that an extension of wiretap authority is unacceptable. It’s not just immunity, Reid’s now, according to the Wall Street Journal, going to put up an 18 month extension of the Protect America Act, extending authority for warrantless taps.
The “problem” the bill was intended to fix, a FISA Court decision requiring warrants for foreign to foreign calls transiting US soil, is no big deal. If there’s reason to believe the calls sare terrorist communications, there’s still a process for getting FISA warrants.
Pass nothing, let the stinker expire.
Dodd is less likely to get 15% than ‘uncommitted’ don’t you think?
Dodd is less likely to get 1% than ‘uncommitted’ is to get 15%.
checking it twice.
Thanks for reminding us that FISA isn’t done yet. Your plan makes more sense than the one suggesting voting for Rommney.
It’s proactive, rather than vindictive.
I Love the wisdom and pragmatism of your comments! You are definitely my kind of people.
I live in Michigan, and I feel like BECAUSE my vote doesn’t mean jack shit I’m being courted more heavily than ever!
So far the blogosphere has active campaigns encouraging me to vote for Dodd, vote for uncommitted, and to vote for Mitt Romney.
So essentially, I should vote for someone who dropped out, someone who is no one, or someone who is everything to everyone.
Wonderful.
Ultimately, I chose not to vote.
Michigan,
I’m sorry you’re being descended upon up there. Try to bear with us. We are just feeling powerless as our president gets decided before we have a chance to vote.
To everyone else,
Suggestions are great, but keep it there. David Duke almost became governor of Louisiana because people got fed up with the rest of the country treating us like idiots & telling us how to vote.

Telephone companies in America hung up on the War on Terror by cutting off FBI phone taps when the agency failed to pay its bills on time, an audit has found.
In at least one case a phone tap used in a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (Fisa) investigation was halted due to “untimely payment”, the audit found.
The American Civil Liberties Union mocked the phone companies for cutting off unpaid phone taps while allowing warrant-free surveillance.
