So Hilary won the Michigan primary

She had 57% of the votes, but there was 38% Uncommitted.
To me, voting uncommitted, is the anti-hilary vote. Voting uncommitted is saying i do not want to vote for Hilary, and 38% is A LOT of people.

yeah, did they actually have an uncommited vote? I saw that the votes didn't add up to a hundred, and apparently barack didn't bother getting his name on the ballott...... but did people just abstain or actually get to vote "D: Fuck You" ?

Hillary won NOTHING but bragging rights. The National Democratic Party stripped Michigan of all of their delegates, because they bumped thier primary up earlier. Delegates are the ones who elect the nominee.
Hillary might as well have gotten zero votes, in short, they all did.

Obama and Edwards withdrew their names from the ballot because of this.

I realize this, and would like to add the fact that Obama and Edwards were not on the ballot (they stuck with the DNC and boycotted).
All these facts only reinforce my original statement. The Democratic primary voters knew the DNC has banned their delegates, and the vote did not matter
so 200,000+ people came out to vote uncommitted, even though they knew their delegates will not be factored into the race? (the delegates will most likely be added after the nominee is chosen)

> Hillary won NOTHING but bragging rights.
Considering that she originaly said she was going to remove her name from the ballot along with everybody else, and then didn't, I think she helped show her true nature.... she can't even keep a campaign promise during the campaign.
