I find it interesting that the Michigan Governor is a member of the DLC, an organization which has been more disruptive to the DNC than the GOP. Members like Al From, Harold Ford and Carville who do nothing but attack Howard Dean and his 50-state strategy. So what did they do this time? They got one of their cronies to convince the Michigan DNC to break the rules and move the primary, fully knowing the consequences. And why? So they could blame the DNC for not listening to the economic needs of states like Michigan. How exactly will moving the primary change the economic outlook of a state. It would take more than the revenue generated by a primary election to change the economic outlook of Michigan.

And I find it strange that Clinton is the only major frontrunner on the ballot in Michigan. She's also a key DLC player and has been using the DLC's divisive tactics in her campaign. Why is she on the ballot? Did she forget? Did she not recognize the breaking of the DNC rules? No. She knew exactly what she was doing. And, she is being pushed, heavily, by the Michigan Governor as *the* choice for Democratic voters in Michigan. At least Kucinich tried to honor the rules of the DNC. He should get the Michigan Democratic vote, even though at this point, it means very little at all thanks to the DLC.
