Below The Beltway

I believe in the free speech that liberals used to believe in, the economic freedom that conservatives used to believe in, and the personal freedom that America used to believe in.

Michigan’s Missed Opportunity

by @ 5:09 pm on February 8, 2008.

If they hadn’t insisted on moving their primary up on the schedule, they would be hosting the most important primary of the season tomorrow:

The clever people in Michigan who decided to get into a game of chicken with New Hampshire last fall over the timing of their Democratic primary should be having second thoughts this weekend.

Had Michigan Democrats not engaged in gamesmanship over the shape of the nomination calendar, they would be holding the premier contest on Saturday, by far the biggest and most influential of the events between Super Tuesday and next week’s Potomac primaries, rather than the nonevent held in Michigan on Jan. 15.

So much for that smart move guys.
