With Michigan being such a union-vote state, I wonder why Obama and Edwards are sitting it out. They have union appeal.
Why did Obama and Edwards pull off the ballot?
I’m just remembering here, but I think they did it in protest to the Democrat party officials for announcing that they wouldn’t seat Michigan’s delegates for moving their primary up. In other words, they pulled off the ballot in solidarity with Michigan’s Dem voters against the party officials.
Am I remembering that right?
A stupid move, by the way. Hillary will get a publicity bounce in a meaningless primary because she’s the only one on the ballot.
Romney is a Republican. The union minded mental giants won't be voting Republican at all.
If Edwards and Obama are sitting this Michigan thing out, then there must have been a deal made with that Clinton Devil that is quite evident to the wannabe pretenders.
Someone may have caught this already but here is the answer in case they havent:
Michigan moved up their primary in an attempt to usurp some of the power of Iowa and N.H. (which was against party rules) and the party punished them by stripping them of their delegates. Afterwards, with no delegates at stake, Edwards and Obama kissed up to self-absorbed Iowa and N.H. voters by “boycotting” a race in which they had nothing to lose.
