But never let it be said that I'm a little black thunder cloud.  All is not lost.  There is still a way that Michigan could see every last delegate seated in Denver this summer.  

The analysis also said there is an option to restore 100 percent of the delegates -- by a recommendation of the Credentials Committee that meets later this summer. However, that would mean a final decision would not be made until the first day of the convention in Denver since Credentials Committee decisions have to be approved by the full convention as it convenes -- risking a floor fight.

Not that a floor fight is inevitable.  Barack Obama could, conceivably, call for unity and ask his supporters to withdraw their protests and opposition on the floor.  It could happen.  In theory.

The man hasn't shown much interest in taking care of Michigan voters thus far but it's never too late to start.  Reports indicate he'll be back in the State this coming Monday.  If the press has a chance to ask him any questions maybe they could inquire about the possibility of abandoning his objections and ending what DEMOCRATS around the country are describing in no uncertain terms as the disenfranchisement of women and minority voters.

Or maybe he's more interested in playing politics?  He's promised to bring "hope" and "change."  Tossing millions of voters under the bus for personal benefit?  THAT'S politics as usual.  He wouldn't do that, would he?
