Michigan voters: *Do* vote in today's primary!

Don't let yourself be discouraged by the democratic party's uppitiness!

Either: a) vote in the republican primary, preferably for someone other than McCain to keep the competition in the running
Or b) Vote Undecided!

Yes, the ONLY way to vote for a democrat other than the very few candidates who are listed on the democratic ballot is to vote undecided. write-in campaigns are not authorized!! if 15 % or more of michigan's democrats vote undecided, then if we get to send delegates to the national convention they will not be tied to voting for someone on the current ballot and can then support Obama or Edwards or whomever.

Why vote Republican against McCain?

As long as there's no definitive leader and, therefore, likely nominee, they'll all stay in the race. The longer they all stay in the race, the more they'll dig their own graves, politically speaking.

At least, that's the theory.

The theory was that it would keep more Republican candidates (read as Romney) viable, which means they will keep beating up on each other instead of the Democratic candidate.

The problem with keeping Mitt Romney viable is, well, we could end up with Mitt Romney as President. Is that likely? George W. Bush got elected. Twice.
