Kos suggested this plan for Michigan because the DNC is not going to seat the Michigan Dem delegates anyway, in retribution for Michigan having moved the primary date up against the terms of a prior agreement. As a result, the major Dem candidates aren’t contesting Michigan.

Obama is not on the ballot but I'm fairly sure that clinton is. How much would you like to bet that the DNC will rescind its refusal to seat the Michagan delegation if she needs their votes (i.e. the 'super delegates' aren't enough to swing the nomination to her)?

Clinton is the candidate of the DLC (Democratic Leadership Council), not the DNC, headed by Howard Dean. The DNC is theoretically neutral, and I don’t think Dean is a big Clinton fan. Many of her super delegates committed when the MSM was following the “Clinton Inevitability” meme. Her support isn’t all that strong through the party.
