Gasoline. Fire. Names back on the ballot, but...

Dragging this out because we love the excruciating pain... the House voted tonight to restore the four names back on the primary ballot, but they didn't vote for immediate effect. It now goes back to the Senate, where the issue can suck all the oxygen out of the room for one more day.

The state House on Monday voted to restore to the ballot the names of four Democratic presidential candidates who withdrew earlier from Michigan's Jan. 15 primary, but fell short on a vote putting the bill into effect in time for the election.

The Senate and House could try again Tuesday to give the bill immediate effect, but some labor groups that support candidate John Edwards are trying to block the move.

House Speaker Andy Dillon, D-Redford, said he's confident there will enough House votes Tuesday to give the measure immediate effect if the Republican-led Senate sends the measure back after voting on it.


Tear it up. Too much hyperbole for me lately. Play nice, or I vote for Hillary just to piss you all off.
