Michigan Democrats ~ Would-Be Kingmakers?

When Michigan moved their primary date up in the hopes of being a "player" in the game of politics I don't think anyone imagined the scenario that is playing out before us. Especially the Democrats.

Remember when Hillary Clinton's eventual nomination was a foregone conclusion? So what if the other candidates removed their names from Michigan's ballot - Michigan was just play-off game on the way to Hillary's appearance in the World Series of politics - the Presidential campaign. Hillary won Michigan's Democrat delegation because the other team(s) didn't bother to show up for the game. And no one really thought it mattered.

Oh, but it does matter now. Hillary is down one in a tight play-off series. Can Michigan delegates get her back in the game?
