Everyone can say what they want about Hilary, but she had the foresite to see the results of the Michigan fiasco and took advantage of it!

Anyone know if the Democratic Party stripped Michigan of its delegates? They were the one who were going to attend the Democrat Convention in Denver this August? If this is true, the dems are in deep doo-doo.

Pls. publish answers online; do not email me. I am swamped with spam as it is. Thank you.

Sean, Farmington Hills-

As America moves closer to a more “liberal” society, our ability to hold regular elections on standardized dates will also diminish.

For centuries, those countries on the path to electing “liberal” governments continually adjusted the election dates to benefit the “unit” candidates. It is well known that the moving of election dates closer (without a 24 month warning) reduces the campaign time of all grass roots challengers and their ability to properly organize.

This is how it works; In the year’s prior to an election, the “liberal” movements and their media continually bad mouths the other unassuming political groups, whereby the unassuming populous hears mostly the liberal campaign propaganda. Then the “liberals” reduce the campaigning time for the capitalist groups and the amount of time they have to respond to the years of socialist propaganda.

All “Grass Roots” campaigns need time to organize and get their word out before a stationary election date. Otherwise, the years of socialist of propaganda wins!

this whole system of primary states is flawed in some regards. in others it works, ex: to weed out those who are falling behind. it limits who people in say alaska want to vote for because these 3 states basically pick the nominees. i'm in favor a pure everyone's votes count in a popular race. everyone campaigns to the end and let the the entire populace decide.

There is nothing suspect about this. Hillary’s Camp has had this maneuvered for Hillary. Through the Clinton connections/favors owned and favors promised.
But just like the rest of their stunts. This will not work either.
1. The order of the Primary states has been Iowa, NH, and SC for a billion years. Even if Michigan is moved up, NO ONE CARES !!
Add to that ALL Candidates except Hillary removed their names from Michigan’s Primary. The only people hurt by this is the Michigan voters.

2. Iowa, NH, SC, Voters have been snubbed by this. By whichever Candidates left their names on the Michigan Ballot. (Hillary left her name on that ballot.) In her attempt to make Michigan a firewall in stopping her inevitable failures in Iowa, NH and SC.

3. The Internet is a POWERFULL tool and all these Clinton OLD SCHOOL Stunts will not work. Americans share the info on these tactics in literally seconds. The Old School Media ( TV ) cannot spin things like they used to. Thereby controlling what we think, by controlling what we hear.

Good for Michigan! all candidates played politics except Hilary clinton. She deserves to win MI.

I think Hillary's decision to keep her name on the ballot was a smart one. Why alienate Michigan voters by pulling your name off? Not a wise decision if you're going to be asking for their votes later. Frankly, I'm surprised Obama and Edwards pulled their names.

Sean from Farmington Hills, MI.

I share your thoughts. I was so looking forward to participating but now it looks lik my vote may not count.

Levin can go jump in a lake. This whole Michigan fiasco can be laid on his doorstep as well as both Dingells and Grahholm.

Mail must be slow in Michigan as the poll workers said they had to get the absentee ballots out by today to make a January 15 primary possible.

By contrast, New Hampshire has the ballots with the Town Clerks and is ready to go. I'd expect Gardiner to wait another couple of weeks before fixing the date.

If the Michigan Democrats tried to make the most dangerous city in American, Detroit, safer, they'd be doing thier jobs. As it is all they can do is whine, flipflop and do nothing. Great state, but lousy representatives.

confusing ! someone explain this in layman's terms. who benefits from the flip-flopping of the primary dates?

I am so angry at my own state's legislature for the games they are playing here. Also, I'm angry at Hillary for sneakily leaving her name on the ballot when the other major Dems pulled theirs off.

The whole way this went down is incredibly suspect. Though seeking a better primary position is a legitimate goal for our state, the timing here is absurd. The result of Michigan's cavalier maneuver will be a SHAM primary, where I will have to write in the name of my favorite candidate. What a joke.
