Cheeky Bastard!!

Rep. Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick, mother of, the morally bankrupt, Detroit Mayor Kwame "Deuch Bag" Kilpatrick, won the Democratic Primaries in Michigan, Tuesday night August 5th by getting 20,888 votes, or 39.1%. Former state Rep. Mary Waters had 19,183 votes, or 36%. and State Sen. Martha Scott was in third place with 13,280 votes, or 24.9%.

The Detroit Free Press and the people of Michigan discuss, and to some extent complain, that it should have been a 2 person race because, "Taken together, Waters and Scott collected 32,463 votes compared to 20,888. That imagainary outcome would have meant a 61% to 39% victory for the opponent".

Though, it is sad to see a three person election process bring about an unfavorable result. It is not our electoral system that is at fault here. Instead of pointing fingers and saying "Why were 3 candidates running instead of 2?" we should, instead, be asking "Why did over 20,000 people vote for Her?"
