The state's delegates were stripped earlier this year after moving up their Democratic primary election despite a warning from officials. However, talks have been heating up the past few days about a "do-over", even though the Democratic National Committee told party officials that Michigan would not sit at the Democratic National Convention in Denver if they moved their primary up.
And so, amid this close race for the nomination for President in the Democratic party, the Wolverine State a.k.a. the Great Lakes State a.k.a. the Automobiles State a.k.a. the Water-Winter Wonderland (??) has put the DNC in a hole. Thus, we've created an 11th Commandment.
Thou shall not spurn Howard Dean, the all-knowing.
The Stupid State could not have foreseen such a close race between Senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. But it should have foreseen a strict ban during the primary season. And now its looking into a re-vote on June 3rd so they can count. A re-vote? Or a real vote... seeing as no candidate put their name on Michigan's ballot the first time around, listening to the DNC and following the rules-- except for Sen. Clinton, of course.
Michigan isn't the only state that had their delegates stripped by the DNC, as Florida sang the swan song this past week. But Florida already had a re-vote and a few lawsuits over an election result that shouldn't have counted in the past.
I am shocked Michigan is so dumb. I mean, they are the state that brought us Sinbad. And Jerry Bruckheimer. And, uh, Kid Rock? The only unelected President and Vice President Gerald Ford....
Quick side note: Michigan's college basketball team participated in the lowest scoring Big Ten Tournament game ever losing 51-34 to Wisconsin this afternoon.
