124. Michigan...
No one was 'required' to remove their name from the ballot in Michigan's primary.

There were two who chose to remove their anmes: Obama and Edwards. They did so, not because it was required, but because they were playing politics for the benefit of Iowa/NH voters in their own primaries.

There were four(4)Dem candidates who chose to leave their names on the Michigan ballot: Clinton, Dodd, Gravel, and Dennis 'Looney Tunes' Kucinich. Not just one(1).

Had both candidates agreed, Michigan could have redone their primary. Clinton agreed, Obama refused to consider the idea. Which is the stumbling block here? Obama of course.

Had Obama left his name on the Michigan ballot, he would have received votes. Says something about his 'judgement' does it not? One does not run for the presidency and at the same time remove one's name from a single primary.

I would suggest that this matter be settled by those Obama supporters who know these comments to be true. Educate your fellow supporters to the truth.

Tired of people crying that Obama was not on the ballot. He made that decision himself.
