democrats pulling out of michigan primary?

Question

can someone explain to me why some dems are pulling out of the michigan primary and what effect this will have for the remaining candidates?

Answer 1

Michigan moved thier primary to an earlier date, in violation of the deocratic party's rules. The candidates who are skipping the primary are abiding by thise rules. The party is probably going to strip Michigan of it's delagtes for this, so it will be an emoty victory for whoever wins.

Answer 2

The Democratic primary was moved to mid-January, which was in violation of a Democratic National Committee policy to not move primaries into January and dilute the Iowa caucus, New Hampshire primary and Nevada primary. The candidates were asked by the DNC to boycott Michigan, but it appears those who are on the ballot simply will not spend money to campaign in the state.

Answer 3

I think they should actually go, at least Obama and Edwards. When you think about it, Obama and Edwards have the best chance of winning the election in both the primary and the general election, and they are being played for fools right now. It would be great to see this turn around in the coming days, where they agree to not miss this debate. And, then you never know.

Answer 4

I think the remaining candidates should get the votes screw the better than you front runners. It just shows you what they think of ppl in Michigan. just because they moved their primary up.

Answer 5

I think the DNC doesn't want Hillary as president. I wonder if I am reading this right. No matter what it sure seems like that.

Answer 6

Can someone explain how Yahoo could call it a "Beauty Pageant" with Billary being the only front runner the libs are showcasing?

Wouldn't the AKC call that a "Dog Show"?

Answer 7

Not Hillary. So much for an ethical campaign.
