As the primary season staggers to an end, the Democratic candidates are spending lots of time and money in states with later primaries: Pennsylvania, Indiana, and so on. Each vote, victory, and loss is important as an indication of whether a candidate is worthy to stay in the race and continue competing for delegates.
Am I the only one heartily amused that the Florida and Michigan Democratic parties sacrificed their constituents’ voices so they could have an earlier (presumably more important and influential) primary date?
(Apologies if this observation has already been made; I’ve been living under a rock for the past month or so and therefore have no idea if people have been giggling about this for some time.)

I didn’t think it would go on this long. I very much underestimated Obama. I can’t decide how this is breaking down for the Dems: either they’re benefitting from > 66% of tv coverage, or they’re hurting themselves really badly.
The sad thing is that it’s entirely personality politics. The GOP were the party who had the more substantive primary, while the Dems are fighting each other to be say who is more like the other.
