Michigan revote "dead"

A mail-in primary is reportedly still being explored, but the odds for that are said to be slim.

    Continuing irrelevance

    Michigan went for Mitt Romney because his dad used to be governor back when people had jobs. The state went for Senator Clinton 55-40 because she was the only one on the ballot. Now people want a do-over for some unguessable reason.

    Michigan, on a national political level, is completely irrelevant. We have nothing to offer either party machine and not enough economic or political clout to force others to do anything to benefit the state.

    Nice job, everyone.
