The Michigan Primary should be taking place today, February 9th. However, they decided to break DNC rules and move up their primary to make it more meaningful. The DNC stripped the state of the their delegates, rendering the earlier primary meaningless and now Michigan is complaining about not having delegates.
As I predicted back in November, if the Michigan primary was today, it would have been very important in the process. It is a large state with a lot of delegates and the candidates would have been campaigning there all week. Instead Obama has been campaigning in Nebraska and Maine. Michigan really dropped the ball on this one.

Michigan Should Have Stayed on February 9th

I agree with you, but the bottom line is that if Obama wins the nomination only because MI and FL delegates are not seated, we could be in real danger of losing MI in the general.
We will have to write off FL if we run Obama against McCain anyway, in my opinion.
If Obama becomes the nominee, I hope he does it by winning at least one or two of the large remaining primaries (TX, OH, or PA).
We cannot afford to let the decision over whether to seat FL and MI delegates determine our nominee.
