Never before has a democratic candidate received assistance in the acquisition of delegates in the manner in which Barack Obama received them this past weekend. Barack Obama was given Michigan delegates even though his name was not even on the Michigan ballot!
Several years ago Barack Obama challenged the petition names of those running against him for senate. Barack was able to get the top three competitors removed from the ballot by disqualifying their supporters signatures. I don't really think that is that controversial actually. It seems like Obama was able to ridicule old school style of politicking by being a bit slick. It was Barack's way of saying "I'm educated and above you now, I know your tricks, and I'll one up you".
In Michigan, Barack Obama took his name off of the Michigan ballot. Almost the entire media seems to accept this as being some kind of normal procedure. But in retrospect, it really makes very little sense. Isn't something better than nothing?
It turns out that Barack had just made another "slick" move. When Barack took his name off of the Michigan ballot, he did so as a way to endear himself to Iowa voters. It was Barack's way of telling Iowa that nobody better ever try and move their primary date up, Iowa is King! Knowing that by taking his name off of the Michigan ballot, Barack Obama would not only win the Iowa vote, but once again he could trick his own party members into the notion that, "How could the votes in Michigan count, I wasn't even on the ballot".
Dig a little further and we see that Richardson and Edwards took their names off of the Michigan ballots as well, how about that! Edwards and Richardson were in cahoots with Barack and articles have been written about how these three shared caucus voters. Edwards, Richardson, and Obama agreed to help prop each other in the caucus states votes by sharing their excess caucus voters! The top four finishers are eligible for government funding, so it ended up being a sleazy deal that helped them all out.
Is this the kind of change Barack Obama is bringing to the democratic party? Back room deals and shenanigans in which the media always presents the sleazy backroom deals in the best light possible? Barack Obama takes his name off of the ballot in Michigan to gain favor with Iowa voters, then turns around and looks like a victim because his name was off of the ballot in Michigan. As if that wasn't enough, the DNC turn actually took 4 delegates away from Hillary Clinton in the process! But not to be outdone, the DNC also gave Barack a whole slew of MIchigan delegates THAT WERE NOT HIS!
Wow, I'm almost impressed. NOT!

Operation Stall, Barack Obama's Diabolical Plot for Michigan and Florida.
Barack Obama is stalling in Florida and Michigan and will only allow those votes to count IF AND ONLY IF those votes put Barack Obama over the new delegate majority threshold that has yet to be established.
Unbelieveable. This is just like when the Iran hostages of 1979 were released on the day Ronald Reagan was sworn in.
What Barack Obama is doing is Operation Stall - the slimiest of all tactics because if Operation Stall is successful it will be used as a huge photo and video opportunity with a beaming Barack Obama in the foreground, and thousands of Floridians in the background chanting his name as Barack Obama.
By not having counted the votes in either Michigan and Florida up until now Barack Obama has maintained an artificially bigger delegate lead than he really has, and Barack Obama has used this extra delegate lead over the past several months to convince other delegates to join him.
This is called the Cascading Delegate Effect. Once Florida and Michigan delegate victories were denied to Hillary Clinton, and then Barack Obama cheated in the Caucus States, Barack was able to convince other delegates, with a toxic amount of help from the media, to side with him to help to help maintain the public impression that Barack Obama was well ahead of Hillary Clinton, when he was not, he was actually losing.
There is no real foundation for Barack Obama's lead other than first denying the votes of Michigan and Florida, and then cheating in the caucus states to build a false lead, a lead that does not actually stand up to any real measure of reality when one factors in what it has taken to give Barack Obama his faux lead.
