So, it appears democracy rears it's ugly head tomorrow

And YOU, yes YOU voter are asked your opinion where you can actually have an impact, unless you are a Democrat, then tomorrow is pretty much a free day politically. First off, here's where you vote:

1 / 3 East Middle School

Well that's all well and good YCD but how do I KNOW which of these tropical locales I should visit to get all Thomas Jefferson? That's got a solution too. Here now, the most treasured document next to the Magna Carta and Declaration of Independence, the Ypsilanti Ward Map (courtesy of the City of Ypsilanti):

Now, as to the vote itself, all you need to do is take some picture ID, as it's a new requirement from our good friends the Republicans (Don't get pissy, you pass something you get credit for it....or blame...but you can't cover your head either) and tell them you want either a REPUBLICAN ballot or a DEMOCRATIC ballot. Now if you grab a GOP ballot, it's razor tight tonight between McCain and Romney and Huckabee is making a very strong showing as well. YCD likes Huckabee's platform that the Funk Brothers are hugely under appreciated and that he couldn't wait to get to Hitsville USA. He said it, yes he did. A true musician at heart. Religious nut on the surface. Ah, politics. Democrats dissatisfied with the DNC kicking them in the family jewels can ALSO vote in the GOP primary and Johnny has seen plans afoot by meddlesome Democrats to vote Romney to ensure the GOP crew keeps beating each other with nobody really getting ahead thus leading to a BROKERED convention. That would be cool to watch YCD thinks. History for sure. Democrats can also vote UNCOMMITTED and wouldn't that be something if UNCOMMITTED beat Hillary (the only major Democrat weasely enough to keep their name ON the Michigan ballot).

It's all good clean mudslinging, push polling, backhanded compliments, candidates smiling right through you, and Chris Matthews blathering on like a caffeinated squirrel all night long.
