MADISON HEIGHTS, Mich. – Some of Hillary Clinton’s top Michigan supporters are gunning for a rival on the Democratic primary ballot: “Uncommitted.”
Former governor James Blanchard and his wife Janet sent postcards to their backers encouraging them to turn out and vote for Clinton in Tuesday’s primary, where her strongest competition is from a none-of-the-above option.
"Make Michigan count," reads the mailer, which arrived today in mailboxes of past Blanchard supporters.
The state hasn’t been expected to count for much since the Democratic National Committee blacklisted the primary for violating the party’s rules by jumping ahead on the calendar. Only Clinton, Dennis Kucinich, Mike Gravel, and the since-departed Chris Dodd are on the ballot, leaving supporters of Barack Obama and John Edwards the common anti-Hillary option of voting for “Uncommitted,” if they bother to vote at all.
The Clinton forces are apparently not taking a victory over “Uncommitted” for granted. The Blanchards are expected to join Governor Jennifer Granholm at a suburban-Detroit event tomorrow that is being described as a “press conference” to elude party sanctions on active politicking in the state. Unable to spend money on ads and other forms of voter contact, event organizers are encouraging Hillary supporters to show up in rally-like numbers to generate enthusiasm before Tuesday’s vote.
