Uncommitted in Michigan

It is presumed that since Clinton is running unopposed in Michigan that Demos in that state have nothing to do but vote for her. Either that or cross over to the Repubs' primary and vote for Mitt Romney just to screw things up. But Mark Kleiman on "The Reality Based Community" has a different view: vote 'uncommitted' in the Demo primary. After all,

I've known Uncommitted for years: not only a great patriot, but a great philosopher, who has mastered the art of maintaining skepticism in the face of unreasoning demands for certainty. If Uncommitted were to win, it would be the funniest political result since John Ashcroft lost to a dead guy.


And Kleiman concludes with a great quote from Churchill that pretty much sums up my philosophy of life:

Let us prove ourselves, in Churchill's immortal words, "decided only to be undecided, resolved to be irresolute, adamant for drift, solid for fluidity."


Let's hear it for Uncommitted.
