I listened to Hillary's campaign chairman on a couple of the Sunday morning news shows today. He made the point that Michigan delegates HAVE to be seated at the convention; otherwise Michigan will vote for McCain. HELLO! I think I can speak for many Michiganders that we are not happy with how the January 15 "primary" was handled, we would have liked to have the opportunity to vote for Obama - absent that, we voted uncommitted or some of us voted in the Republican primary in something akin to operation chaos in Indiana. Regardless - we are not idiots! We know that neither Hillary nor Barack campaigned in Michigan and they were not supposed to, according to party rules. We understood the rules - we recognized that our state officials took a gamble that they could force the DNC to recognize our "jump the line"early primary.
They lost that gamble! It's on their heads - but it has nothing to do with our support for Obama then, and even less to do with our support for Obama now, having been able to watch all of the remaining races, primaries and caucuses unfold. So - we don't CARE about what happened in Januaray 15 - we don't even care about the the August convention - Obama will be the nominee - it's a done deal now, and we WILL vote for Obama over McCain in November!
