Hillary opposed the war as well - she promoted sanctions and inspections and diplomatic efforts. Obama wasn't in the Senate that day, so we'll never know how his vote might have been, but his words were fairly similar to Hillary's, except that she acknowledge that a guy with missiles, an unknown biochemical program and $3 billion a year to spend might be a danger to his neighbors. Obama didn't.

Considering Obama's fans want Hillary to concede already, obviously Texas and Ohio and Pennsylvania "don't matter" either. Nor does the fact that people in Michigan and Florida did go to the polls in record numbers - not just a fictitious event - resulting from screwups by their state party leaders and the Republican legislature, unequal treatment by the national committee (SC, New Hampshire and Iowa also moved their contests without approval), and with pandering from Obama and Edwards trying to suck up to Iowa and New Hampshire officials by withdrawing from the Michigan ballot, an idiocy Clinton clearly condemned in October:

Edwards' campaign said the candidate is strongly committed to Iowa.

"In Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada voters can look their candidate in the eye and determine who is best to bring about real change in America," said Edwards' campaign manager, former Michigan Rep. David Bonior.

"In these early states issues matter more than money, celebrity and advertisements. Voters want and deserve a candidate who represents real people, not corporate special interests, and this primary process will help ensure that's exactly what the American people get," he said.

Hari Sevugan, a spokesman for Dodd, said the Connecticut senator would remain on the Michigan ballot.

"It does not benefit any of us if we are the nominee to pull our name off the ballot and slight Michigan voters," Sevugan said.

Clinton advisers acknowledged party leaders in Iowa and New Hampshire might be irked by her refusal to pull out of Michigan. But removing her name from the ballot would be a needless insult to the state's voters — one that could prove damaging in the general election, the advisers said.

In New Hampshire, Democratic Party Chairman Ray Buckley welcomed the developments.

"Today's turn of events only further amplifies the fact that the Michigan primary is irrelevant," Buckley said in a statement. "Our secretary of state, Bill Gardner, now has more flexibility in his scheduling decision because the Michigan event is no longer a 'similar event' to the New Hampshire primary."
