Un endorsement no deseado

Para alguien que está tan necesitado como Mitt Romney de ganar el próximo martes en la primaria de Michigan, cualquier tipo de ayuda en forma de votos puede resultar aceptable aunque no resulte muy higiénico. Ante la ausencia de competición entre los demócratas ese día, Daily Kos está haciendo un llamamiento a los votantes demócratas de Michigan para que participen en el proceso republicano apoyando al ex Gobernador de Massachusetts. No porque sea el candidato que les gusta. El objetivo, complicar aún más la carrera republicana y evitar que puedan consolidar a un front-runner antes que ellos. Let's have some fun in Michigan

In 1972, Republican voters in Michigan decided to make a little mischief, crossing over to vote in the open Democratic primary and voting for segregationist Democrat George Wallace, seriously embarrassing the state's Democrats. In fact, a third of the voters in the Democratic primary were Republican crossover votes. In 1988, Republican voters again crossed over, helping Jesse Jackson win the Democratic primary, helping rack up big margins for Jackson in Republican precincts. (Michigan Republicans can clearly be counted on to practice the worst of racial politics.) In 1998, Republicans helped Jack Kevorkian's lawyer -- quack Geoffrey Feiger -- win his Democratic primary, thus guaranteeing their hold on the governor's mansion that year.

With a history of meddling in our primaries, why don't we try and return the favor. Next Tuesday, January 15th, Michigan will hold its primary. Michigan Democrats should vote for Mitt Romney, because if Mitt wins, Democrats win. How so?

(...) Meanwhile, poor Mitt Romney, who’s suffered back-to-back losses in the last week, desperately needs to win Michigan in order to keep his campaign afloat. Bottom line, if Romney loses Michigan, he's out. If he wins, he stays in.

And we want Romney in, because the more Republican candidates we have fighting it out, trashing each other with negative ads and spending tons of money, the better it is for us. We want Mitt to stay in the race, and to do that, we need him to win in Michigan. (...)
