The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

albaby1: Anyway, it looks like the "uncommitted" effort ended up being.....middling. About 100K votes...

Other interesting numbers from Michigan:

19.9% of the democratic votes were cast 'against' Biden while 32.2% of the republican votes were cast 'against' Trump.

During Obama's incumbent primary in 2012, he got a total of 174,054 votes in Michigan. There were a total of 194,887 votes cast in the entire Democratic primary (so about 11% voted uncommitted). Yesterday, Biden got 618,426 votes with 7% of the vote still to count (so about 13% voted uncommitted).

All in all, Trump ended up with 68.2% of the vote to Nikki Haley's 26.6%, which the media are touting as a big success, while Biden ended up with 80.1% of the vote (second place garnered 3.0%), which the media are calling worrisome.
