BREAKING BLASPHEMES NEWS: Do-Over Michigan Caucus Likely, Says DNC Rules Committee Member [who wants to be on television.] (Linko, pink-o)
A member of the DNC's Rules And Bylaws Committee--the committee that stripped Florida and Michigan of its delegates for moving their primaries before February 5th--told us that Michigan plans to get out of its uncounted delegate problem by announcing a new caucus in the next few days.
"They want to play. They know how to do caucuses," the DNC source said. "That was their plan all along, before they got cute with the primary."
Michigan Democrats had originally planned on caucuses after the legally permissible Feb. 5 date, but then went along with top elected Democrats, including Gov. Jennifer Granholm, who pushed for an early primary.
Reminder : Hillary Clinton won that Jan. 15 primary, but was the only major candidate on the ballot. Barack Obama and John Edwards had removed their names, although Obama supporters in the state urged voters to choose “uncommitted” over Clinton.
Hang on a minute! Didn't Howard Dean say this is breaking the agreed rules this morning? Unless Dean has back tracked that, there's disarray over there at the DNC??
I'm shocked, shocked... and OneF and I have been explaining to you that this was going to happen for the last - what, two months now?
