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.

Your theory does sound vaguely familiar. We’ll see if their strategy backfires in the end. Thanks for the explanation. I saw another thread where Kos is in trouble for encouraging Michigan Democrats to vote in the GOP primary. Good!
