The Battle Over Early Primaries

By Bryan Seiler

ADVERTISEMENTS
According to both the New York Times and the Detroit Free Press, four Democrats (Edwards, Obama, Richardson, and Biden) withdrew from the Michigan primary on Wednesday. This leaves only Senators Clinton and Dodd on the primary ballot, effectively ceding the contest to Senator Clinton in what is shaping up to be a very tight race.

The four candidates withdrew from the Michigan primary under pressure from Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Nevada. Each of these four states required Democratic candidates to sign a pledge that they will not campaign in Michigan and Florida. The Democratic National Committee has not stepped into the fracas, but sanctions the four states as the first states allowed to vote.

The events on Wednesday arguably represent the first real consequences of the battle over 2008 primary dates, though their import remains to be seen.
