Michigan and the Democrats
"I am here for one simple reason: to make sure Michigan's votes are counted and your voices are heard in this election," the New York senator [Clinton] said.
I find it interesting that when she was favored earlier, she didn't much mind that the Democrats had written off what Michigan had to say about the candidates. I don't know the entire story behind this mess, but as I understand, someone in Michigan decided to hold the state's primaries early and the Democratic party said, "screw you," and we don't care what the Michigan people think so we're going to use your representatives as we see fit.
Now that it's a couple of months later and Hilary needs to scrape up some delegates to stay in the race, she's all of sudden decided that Michigan should really vote - again.
P.S. I had planned to vote Democratic in the primary until the Democrats decided they didn't care what I thought. I'll probably just go ahead and vote for Ru Paul now. At least there's no confusion there.
