Here's my funny story about voting in the 1/15 MI primary: I was going to be out of town, so I shifted my work around so I could take time off to drag my little one down to city hall and vote absentee - knowing full well my vote wouldn't count. Laughed about it, cried about it. Voted.

I can agree that we can't use the votes as is. I think it's a shame that Dean recommended a mail-in for both states, given that one campaign is opposed. Don't know who I'm more frustrated with - Dean for not having buy in before he went on the Sunday talk shows, or the Obama campaign for saying they'd go along with whatever the DNC came up with and then backing out. Either way, it's frustrating.

I'd love a second turn voting for my candidate, and it would be pretty darned sweet to have it count.

I'd also love to see my motown neighborhood plastered with yard signs for the democratic nominee rather than foreclosure stickers (which is what we have already) or McCain flair - I'm really worried that if we don't count (and 50/50 doesn't count), I'm going to be stuck with the latter. Yargh.
