Michigan To Hold A Caucus?
By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Democrats, MichiganThat’s the word from the DNC.
A member of the DNC’s Rules And Bylaws Committee–the committee that stripped Florida and Michigan of its delegates for moving their primaries before February 5th–told me that Michigan plans to get out of its uncounted delegate problem by announcing a new caucus in the next few days.“They want to play. They know how to do caucuses,” the DNC source said. “That was their plan all along, before they got cute with the primary.”
Michigan Democrats had originally planned on caucuses after the legally permissible Feb. 5 date, but then went along with top elected Democrats, including Gov. Jennifer Granholm, who pushed for an early primary.
Okay, so the question is when. Because if it’s in June then that could be too late for them to really count. The contest could be decided by then.
