Obama’s Choice for Michigan [Critical Update]

UPDATE / THIS IS A MUST-READ: “Obama’s Plot to Remove His Name from Michigan Ballot,” by Universal, in the recommended list at MyDD.com. The writer quotes from the highly respected blog TalkLeft:

[T]he removal (of Barack’s name from the Michigan ballot) was an attempted power play by Obama because he knew he could not run well in Michigan and thought that the pressure of Iowa (protect the whole first thing) would allow him to shut down the possibility of a Michigan beauty contest being deemed meaningful. And indeed Obama’s hardball ploy worked. Michigan was not covered.

The key point? “There was NO impetus from the DNC for Obama to remove his name, and he seems to be the mastermind behind the idea (which Edwards and Richardson agreed to later). …” PLEASE: Read ALL of Universal’s diary, and then share it, and the video below, with everyone you know.


Now check out how Obama is operating in Pennsylvania, which has a CLOSED primary for Democrats only.

Obama is openly exhorting Independents and Republicans to register as “Democrats for a day” and vote for him in PA. Watch for yourselves:

– From “Does what we are doing here matter? [Update].”

So much for leaving behind “politics as usual.”
