Romney won MI yesterday. FOX called the election with 12% of the votes. So what are today's headlines all over the place? How HILLARY won MI. She wasn't even contested. What a crock. Thank God for talk radio or conservatives would have little/no voice. :(

There is very little mention of Romney (quite possibly our next POTUS) winning MI by 10% of the vote. When Obama won, the media was drooling all over itself. Same for Hillary. The media should be ashamed of itself for its BLATANTLY OBVIOUS love of everything liberal.:(

Yeah, it's all about Hillary and the democrats. Romney's winning was buried in the 7th paragraph. :rolleyes:

There is some oddities about the Democratic convention in Michigan. I don't think it counts, which is why the Hillary thing seems odd.

I'll have to look into it more.

Anybody with more information on this?

The DNC forbids any state other than Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, and South Carolina from holding their Democrat primary before February 5th. Since Michigan decided to have their primary early anyway, they were stripped of their delegates. So a victory there for a Democrat is pretty meaningless, aside from free (and spun) press. I think Obama didn't even bother to get on the ballot because of this.

Even the MI GOP didn't want to acknowledge Romney's win. They gave it to McCain. :eek:

What a blatant lie. Your link only says that they mistakenly gave the victory to McCain in a press release by accident, not that they didn't want to acknowledge Romney's win.

"Heading into tonight, this race was too close to call, so we prepared a release for either scenario," state GOP spokesman Bill Nowling said. "We simply pushed the wrong button."

The Associated Press named Romney the GOP winner when polls closed in Michigan's western Upper Peninsula at 9 p.m. EST.

The first GOP release went out just minutes later and stated, "In a close-fought victory, Senator John McCain succeeded again (in) the Michigan Republican primary, winning over a traditionally unpredictable voter base in Michigan."

Five minutes after that, the party sent a release that said, "In a close-fought victory, native son Governor Mitt Romney won an important contest here tonight."
 
The lede of the story you linked to Sandy qualifies the win, so I'm not sure what you're complaining about.

If the media is so liberal, why wasn't Kucinich on the Democratic debate last night?

Heh, poor guy can't catch a break.

The Nevada Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that MSNBC is not required to include candidate Dennis Kucinich in its scheduled Democratic presidential debate.

The seven-member court overturned Monday’s ruling by a Nevada district court judge.

The decision, which came one hour before the debate was scheduled to begin in Las Vegas, meant that Mr. Kucinich would not share the stage with the party’s three leading contenders, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Barack Obama and John Edwards. The debate is expected to begin at 9 p.m. Eastern on MSNBC.

I agree. MI didn’t even count for the Democrats, there for; it should have been on page five.
 
But the obvious liberal-biased media LOVES liberal news and hates conservative news unless it's bad. They bash W. They ignored Romney. Ugh...

The story doesn't mention the primary winner Mitt Romney until paragraph seven. That says it all. :(

That's because the article is about the strange nature of the Dem primary there. If you look on Yahoo's front page, the lead story is about the GOP. Also, Romney's win doesn't give him the lead overall. Now the top 3 GOP candidates have at least one win.

So, does that mean that Michigan loses its vote in the Democratic nomination? I don't get how this works.

For all my understanding of current events, the whole Caucus vs. Primary and selecting delegates business totally (a) bores me and (b) eludes me.

Because he's a kook, he stands no chance to win and because the "liberal media" has already crowned their prince: Obama.
