According to Michigan NPR interview I heard today (5.00 / 2) (#5)
by Saul on Thu Mar 06, 2008 at 06:42:10 PM EST
that no one told the candidates they had to remove their names form the ballot. Obama and Edwards did that on their own.  Kunichesk name was also on the ballot.  The people came out in bad weather and voted. You remove your name from the ballot then that's your bad luck.  No one should overturn the Michigan voter's decision.

Well then that means Kucinich is corrupt too (5.00 / 1) (#40)

right? Obviously he wanted to rig the system, like Hillary and all the other candidates except Edwards and Obama.

I still can't believe that intelligent people are still throwing that old argument around. Obama and Edwards VOLUNTARILY took their names off (and many think Obama was trying to sway the voters in NH by this move, and may have believed this would be the outcome - invalidation of a potential Hillary state). Not to mention the whole 'vote uncommitted for Obama' contingent.

We really have left reason at the door haven't we?

Hillary and Kucinich did nothing wrong by staying on the ballot. The removal of the others was their decision. No one campaigned in the state.

Guaranteed (5.00 / 1) (#28)

if Obama had won those states no one would be criticizing him for keeping his name on the ballot.

Agree, (none / 0) (#13)

I think the DNC credentials committee should lift the unfair penalties it imposed not decide on whether to hold new elections.

that was the mistake that needs correcting Jeralyn is correct.

But it's irrelevant (none / 0) (#69)

Nobody told anyone to take their names off the ballot. BUT EVERYONE AGREED THAT IT WOULDN'T COUNT.

I don't believe the voters of MI and FL (none / 0) (#83)
by MarkL on Fri Mar 07, 2008 at 09:03:46 AM EST
agreed: in fact, since they voted, I am sure they did not.
