You ask for an explanation, get one, and then depart with "That's crazy"? In what way is that crazy? Crazy in that you don't believe our governor is capable of complex political positioning on this type? Crazy in that you can't believe Clinton would stoop to rigging a primary in her own favor? Crazy in that you still have the naivety to believe in Clinton's sparkly goodness? Please, enlighten us all as to the nature of the "crazy" that's presented here. Because John sounds dead-on here. There's was little to no reason to risk all the Michigan Democrat's power at the convention for a transparent move like this other than to benefit the governor's candidate. Science forbid this state endorse anyone but the Inevitable Candidate (TM). Simply amazing. You ask for an explanation, get one, and then depart with “That’s crazy”? In what way is that crazy?

No. Actually, it isn't. Basically, by attempting to have the Michigan primary upstage the Iowa caucus and New Hampshire primary, Granholm knew most Democratic candidates would stay out of Michigan to avoid the wrath of the national party. Ipso-facto, Clinton (whom she endorses) is pretty much the only one on the ticket. Well, perhaps “rig” is too strong a term. No. Actually, it isn’t.
