It's bad enough to watch MSNBC and listen to the likes of James Carville and Terry McAuliffe use Michigan as a pawn against Barack Obama, but now we've got our own governor. Speaking on the Clinton conference call Wednesday, Michigan Gov. Jennifer M. Granholm called for the DNC to recognize the votes of the 600,000 Democrats who participated in that state’s primary. Granholm said that Clinton would lead the popular vote if Michigan’s votes were included. “That to me — that to all of us — should be a sign to superdelegates that she in fact is the strongest candidate to win the general election in November,” she said.
Governor ... please stop. Represent the interests of the people whose state you were elected to lead, not the presidential candidate who you endorsed. This is the kind of thing that makes me wonder if your loyalties are more towards getting a job in D.C. than it is in being governor, and also lends support to the widespread belief that Hillary Clinton -- Bill and Hillary, actually -- wouldn't bat an eyelash at destroying the fortunes of the Democratic party to win the nomination. It also makes it more difficult for those of us who'd like to see a solution to demand that it come without turning this state into a pawn.
