Brewer: Seat Them All
WASHINGTON -- Mark Brewer, chairman of the MI Democratic Party, urged the RBC to seat the entire 157-member MI delegation at full voting strength and to divide the state's 128 pledged delegates, 69 for Hillary Clinton and 59 for Barack Obama.
The plan, Brewer said, is overwhelmingly supported by the 80-member MI Dem Party executive committee.
"Michigan's Democratic voters have already been punished enough," he said, cautioning, that "our state is a must win state for whoever our nominee is."
On Call Reminder: Obama was not on the MI ballot.

On Call Reminder to the Reminder: Obama requested to remove his name off the ballot when it appeared Michigan would be a lost cause, legitimizing a future loss to Clinton.
Sorry anon, everyone BUT the slippery Clinton took their name off the ballot. She likes communist "only her name on the ballot" style "elections".
Clintons have no morals or conscience. How about the Michigan and Florida voters who DIDN'T vote because they thought their delegates wouldn't be seated.
Hey Jack! You don't know jack.
Chris Dodd and Mike Gravel, along with Hillary Clinton, elected to remain on the Michigan ballot.
Biden, along with Obama and Edwards, chose to withdraw their names. Dennis Kucinich thought he filed the paperwork to withdraw but missed the deadline and was on the ballot.
It was Obama's choice to remove himself from the Michigan ballot. Hillary was leading by large margins in the polls (one poll had her leading, 46 to 27) so he took his name off to deny her the victory and got Edwards to come along for the ride.
