This is from the end of an interesting article candidates pulling out of the Jan. 15 Michigan Democratic primary.

Edwards' manager David Bonior, who was a long-time Michigan congressman, defended his campaign's decision to boycott Michigan.
"Michigan is a great state with some of the finest Democrats in the nation, but it's important we respect the role that the four early states play in the nominating process," Bonior said in a prepared statement issued by the campaign.
"In Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Nevada voters can look their candidate in the eye and determine who is best to bring about real change in America. In these early states issues matter more than money, celebrity and advertisements.
"Voters want and deserve a candidate who represents real people, not corporate special interests, and this primary process will help ensure that's exactly what the American people get."
It was unclear to whom his criticism was intended -- the Republicans, Clinton or another target. |

| Obama and Richardson also pulled out. They are cooperating with the Democratic National Committee's rules about when primaries/caucuses can be held. Michigan violated the party schedule. |

Yes, their pullouts are mentioned at the beginning.
I find the statements here vague, politically dangerous, and a bit silly all at the same time. Vague as mentioned, dangerous because because they seem to imply that other states don't focus on issues, and silly if you consider the amount of money spent on campaigning there. |

Likely either OBAMA or Edwards ( my guess is Edwards ) to be chosen as Hill-dawg's 2008 VP Running Mate.
Hillary & Edwards are BOTH Bilderbergers.
IS Obama? Nope, don't think so  |
