LANSING — Michigan’s big dance may turn out to be a slumber party.
The strong showing of Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry in the first nine primaries across the nation and his wide lead in polls here has tamped down the excitement surrounding Saturday’s Michigan Democratic presidential caucus and made it a race for second place in the eyes of some candidates and experts.
It’s looking like at least part of the lack of interest is the lack of union activity. They’re usually out with phone boards and eveything else trying to drum up support for one Democrat or another.
Not so, this time. Based on this lack, one could easily suggest that the unions aren’t supporting the Democrats this time. Hmmmmmm
Howard Dean has apparently written off the Michagan contest… he was seen on C-span this morning, stumping in washingto State, trying to play the outsider for all it’s worth.
