McCormack has never been a judge from the trial level up through appeals. The first job of a Supreme Court justice is to know and understand all of the judicial procedures in all courts, along with the rules of evidence. It's one thing to know of them in an abstract way, but not the same as experiencing them every day, with different cases, in different parts of law.

McCormack is strong in one small part of law. Criminal law regarding convictions. That's her main clinic and by all accounts she does well there. Is this someone you want making a decision on family law, estates, torts, or contracts?

I understand campaign finance law and campaign election procedures better than 99% of the people in this state. That doesn't qualify me to be the Dean of the political science department at Michigan State. No teaching experience.

I also agree with you 100% on your summary:

"If our Republican office holders would actually govern by Republican principles without fail, Republicans (and the rest of the population) would win every time."

Even the "47%", much of whom IMHO would already be easily labeled as "conservative" (read: retirees & vets...people who contributed) are having a hard time relating to a candidate who is having such a hard time relating his ideas to the voters.

Folks concerned about the sniping from within the Republican camp need to look at their candidates a little more closely from now on.

Yessirree.  That pretty much says it all - dating back to all the Rockefeller Republicans that gifted LBJ his Daisy campaign ad.  Those go along to get along indistinguishable hacks infesting the GOP only led to Milhous the Moderate idiot, and reluctant Jerry the Klutz, pandering squish.  Hello November 1976... Poof! The white Barack Obama.  That's right, the TelePrompTer Messiah is showing us how a second term would've looked if the Second Worst pResident Ever had won in '80.  Folks all across Georgia are now rejoicing in losing that Worst Ever stigma with native son Carter, although, I hear that Hawaii has yet to make unequivocal claim to Stanley Ann's darling lil' Barry Soetoro.  Yup.  Truly a man eat dog world according to step-pappy Lolo.  But I digress.

So, give Barry another four years to plant seeds of Marxism with a potential 2-4 openings on SCOMI?  Oh hell NO.  Another four years of demeans "My People" Holder with his Blackshirts shysters running roughshod over the states?  HELL NO!  Four more years of Barry Obysmal Executive Orders?  HELL NO!!

The cards that the dealer dealt from the bottom of the primary deck is the choice we have in November.  From the expression I see here at 0:14, Mitt may not be willing to gamble on losing America to the incrementalist Socialist Left.  Ya, I'm sick of the Looters and Moochers too, Mitt.  Bottom line: it's Romney's Party to lose if he reverts to his east coast Democrat pandering ways.  Yes, the Whig stakes are that high.

However, that same card forcing, bottom deck dealing hand played by the MI-GOP house dealer applies to O'Brien too.  O'Brien will not get my vote.  Methinks, Glenn got bought off with hollow convention words: FTW ÷ Alticor = Davy Jones' locker.  Nothing has, nor will change on my O'Brien position.  The state Party has to learn sometime, and now is just as good a time as any for it to learn.

As for this whole "hot" thing... so, this has now devolved to agiprop from some defunct program on Jeffrey Immelts' NBCDNC Network?  That's the kind of influence the purposely dumbed down publik edjukayshun Sheeple Herd actually bows to?  Holy bejesus!  Turn out the lights - the Republic is over.

Look, I don't spend much time on the chesterfield in front of the idiot box watching what allegedly is supposed to pass for entertainment these days, but I do see a much needed perspective on the McCormacks.

As like with Sandra, I wouldn't Fluke any of them even with someone else's d!@%.  Dog ass ugly females.  

Frankly speaking, little blue pills must be freely flowing over at Moscow on the Huron, as I cannot even begin to fathom how the Obamabot insider gets it up for his Gidget.
