Do you think Barack Obama and John Edwards made a mistake by withdrawing their names from the Michigan Primary

Thgey were forced to withdraw. Party rules. It's Michigan's fault for insisting on bringing their primary forward. Don't blame the candidates (except for the candidates who are going against the rules by keeping their names on the ballot!).

We all know that either Edwards or Obama would have won Michigan hands-down and because of the screw-up, the votes don't count for Clinton anyway. I very much doubt that many people in Michigan even turn up to vote.

They didn't have a choice. Hope this helps.

Michigan has no delegates to win for the Dem's. No point in wasting resources there.

You must have not heard the news. Michigan is a lost state to Democrats. It tried to have it's primary earlier and was stripped of all its Democratic delegates.

I think Howard Dean is to blame as the parties chairman it was his decision to punish his own party in michigan.


But noone ever accused Howard Dean of being very intelligent when it came to politics


He is a big reason for our division

Howard" I hate republicans" Dean

How can they be the party of change and unity with him at the helm?

sad news for Democrats.

Yes, they did, being beholden to the kingmaker status that two atypical states have had unjustly for years.
