no he didn't. It was a deal with parts of the Michigan party machine he wanted to curry favour with.
That's dubious claim. Fact was, Edwards withdrew his name from the MI ballot too, Kucinich wanted to, and the only serious candidate on the ballot was Clinton -- after she'd previously indicated she'd be off the ballot, then changed her mind.
One of the TalkLeft bloggers and a number of their readers advanced the view that Clinton should get the only delegates from MI, and Obama should get none. That's kinda crazy ...

That would be Richard Meros. Unless something odd's changed.
Indeed. My only excuse for typing otherwise (twice!) is that I was in a hell of a hurry and the keys are close together. I had the book in front of me as I did it, too. Fixed now, anyway.

I don't have to explain away - what Clinton is saying is true. Obama doesn't want the vote of Florida counted unless they either beneift him or do him no damage. Either way it's underhand.
Underhand? Neil, you need to spend less time at TalkLeft.
The reason the votes in Florida shouldn't be counted as cast is because there wasn't a proper election there.
Florida is "getting this kind of treatment", as Clinton put it, because it flouted the orders of the DNC and was disciplined. Hillary was happy enough with that when it suited her.
It's a debacle, but blaming Obama is nuts.

I see Dub Dot Dash has an update on the EMI situation.

Craig Ranapia traverses Myanmar, the memoirs of Alan Greenspan and the "strategic vagueness" of the Labour government's announcement of its rail buy-back.

Keith et al
Many thanks for the robust discussion on this by many with an expert interest in the HES and how it can be used.
Thanks for coming by Bernard, and for recognising that criticisms are made in the spirit of debate.

All the BBC earthquake video is here.
Bonus: they finally have decent embedded Flash video instead of that RealPlayer crap.

BTW, I think my comment was a bit snarly. It wasn't meant to be - bit it isn't often that we get someone from national media defending their social authoritarian agenda in a public forum.
Oh really ...
I think I can vouch for the fact that Damian doesn't have a "social authoritarian agenda".
For an apology about being snarly that was pretty ... snarly.

That's the freakin Mayor ferchissakes! And he's willing to put it all in a letter and have it published!!
Media Matters has a frankly astonishing summary of the various whispering campaigns directed against Obama by a variety of wingnut commentators and broadcasters.

The WaPo has a fascinating, if slightly chilling, story on various expressions of racist sentiment encountered by Obama campaign workers.
And the CJR raps the Financial Times for its portrayal of West Virginia.
