Voting Uncommitted in Michigan

I’ve been hoping to see this:

An ‘Uncommitted’ Coalition Forming In Michigan?

Michigan supporters of U.S. Sen. Hillary CLINTON (D-N.Y.) may be seeing their biggest nightmare taking shape — a coalition of Barack OBAMA and John EDWARDS backers supporting an “uncommitted” vote here next Tuesday.

Any organized effort to nail down uncommitted votes means fewer votes Clinton, who is the only major Democratic candidate whose name will appear on the primary ballot. The party’s anti-Clinton factions, in their wildest dreams, hope Clinton finishes second to “none of the above.” Such a development would not only send shockwaves through her campaign, but it would shake up the overall Democratic race for the White House.

Everyone else took their names off the ballot (except Dodd). There’s no way Clinton should benefit with these delegates in her back pocket for any potential convention fight. I don’t think it’ll matter, but there’s a principle here.
