I read a few weeks ago that Michigan was being "penalized" in some way for moving up its primaries to January 15, 2008, which would be the 3rd primary -- following Iowa and New Hampshire. I even thought I read where the penalty might be not to count this primary. This would obviously hurt Hillary Clinton, who's way ahead in this state but engaged in a dogfight in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina. Anyone have more information about this?

I heard that the punishment was more symbolic and they would still get to hold their primary and be counted. I live in Michigan.

*Yes. both Republican and Decocrats are penalizing Michigan and Florida by not recognizing their primaries. Kind of dumb,don't you think?

I'm a Michigander.
Michigan's delegates will not be seated at the convention, thus their votes will not be tallied. Being a Republican, I don't really care, but I have neighbors who are howling mad.
