30. Define "The High Road."
Is that "lying" and telling an elector in that which we hold so sacred, the right to vote, that I am a Republican, to GAME their primary? I didn't do it. I voted "uncommitted."

I want you to walk up to your child, right now, and tell that child that LYING in an ELECTION like BUSH did is "the high road."

Plus, the number of voters who "crossed" is held to be very low.

AND I'm certain "We support a fair solution that allows Michigan Democrats to participate at our National Convention this summer, and we look forward to working with the Michigan Democratic Party and the DNC to achieve that goal," Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton said in a statement after the Senate adjourned." when the Michigan Senate said they would no longer consider a primary, leaving a CAUCUS as the only alternative (which is what the Obama Campaign wanted anyway), representing 10% of the voters at best.

This is one of those statements that, if you want to keep score, the Obama Campaign can put in the ingenuous and self-serving column.

AND it will make great press for the McCain Campaign: "WE didn't cheat you out of your vote in the primary."

But if Obama wants to shoot those dice, well, feel free.
