Hillary Crushing in Michigan

By wt

The Detroit News published this article today about how Hillary is totally working all the angles and pulling out all the stops to crush Obama in delegates in Michigan:

It's becoming apparent that Obama should have consented to a revote here. He certainly wouldn't have lost by 15 percentage points or more; polls have pegged the pair in a dead heat. But Obama seemed spooked that Clintonites put forth the plan and the money, so he quashed the do-over last month.

Now Obama is paying the price in delegates, starting with the Michigan Democratic Party's 15 district conventions on Saturday. The Clinton battle plan was flawlessly executed with an eye toward a contested convention.

Really? Flawlessly executed? Even if that were true, is it so apparent that the time invested in Michigan is worth it when THE DELEGATES DON'T COUNT?

If you love Hillary, the article does give a little hope that she could score a big victory here. But that victory basically depends on the permission of the credentials committee actually seating the delegates.
