Michigan Primaries
Let us never forget that government is ourselves and not an alien power over us. The ultimate rulers of our democracy are not a president and senators and congressmen and government officials, but the voters of this country.
-FDR, 1938

Roosevelt may sound a tad too idealistic but in theory that is the way a democracy is supposed to work.

Tomorrow is the Michigan primaries. I did some reading on the candidates in my area and there isn't much choice. Besides Governor, every position has only one Democrat running so I wouldn't have anyone to choose from. I could vote on the Republican candidates and try to get the more dangerously right wing ones off of the final ballot, but that would mean I would have to stomach reading about them and choosing the lesser evil. Of course, I wouldn't be much better off on the Democratic side anyway. As it is we have three Democrats running for governor and I don't like any of them.
Elections are won by men and women chiefly because most people vote against somebody, rather than for somebody
-Franklin P. Adams, Nods and Becks (via Camp's Unfamiliar Quotations)

Now I need to find a description of the Bills on tomorrow's ballot.
