Reply #59: The MIGOP was involved, too. [View All]

To move the primary took passing a law. The Dems do not control the Senate, and the MIGOP higherups agreed with the Michigan Dem higherups to move up the date.

Then, when the DNC disenfranchised the Michigan Democrats but the RNC only took away half of the delegates, what incentive did the MIGOP have to help pass the law to rescind the earlier one within the 30 day timeframe? Absolutely none. They know Michigan's barely blue, and they knew that their guys could campaign here. So, they've been running ads, putting up signs, fundraising, hosting rallies, and even had a debate here while we've got nothing.

As much as I look up to Dr. Dean, he should've seen through the MIGOP handling of this and come up with a better compromise--like at least matching the RNC solution so both parties would be equal.
