Michigan Effed Itself

By wt

No Michigan primary this weekend. Instead the beauty contest happened back in January.

The clever people in Michigan who decided to get into a game of chicken with New Hampshire last fall over the timing of their Democratic primary should be having second thoughts this weekend.

Had Michigan Democrats not engaged in gamesmanship over the shape of the nomination calendar, they would be holding the premier contest on Saturday, by far the biggest and most influential of the events between Super Tuesday and next week's Potomac primaries, rather than the nonevent held in Michigan on Jan. 15.

I think it's funny that the author of the article sarcastically calls the Michigan Democrats who made this decision "clever."

Way to snark it up.
