I said I was prepared to vote for Edwards, not Obama.  It was not Obama's fault that I could not vote for Edwards.  It was, and still is, the fault of the incompetent leadership of the Michigan Democratic Party.

The Iowa Independent reported on Oct. 11, 2007:

"Five individuals connected to five different campaigns have confirmed -- but only under condition of anonymity -- that the situation that developed in connection with the Michigan ballot is not at all as it appears on the surface. The campaign for Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, arguably fearing a poor showing in Michigan, reached out to the others with a desire of leaving New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton as the only candidate on the ballot. The hope was that such a move would provide one more political obstacle for the Clinton campaign to overcome in Iowa."

  The names of Kucinich, Gravel, and Dodd were the 3 other names that remained on the Michigan ballot.
