VIDEO:  Uncommitted: Michigan's Democratic Primary Fiasco
 
 
Michigan's January 15 Democratic Primary was panned as "meaningless" by many critics in the media. For Democrats in Michigan - especially young Dems - the National Party's actions were "frustrating". The state was stripped of its delegates to the national convention just because they wanted more say in choosing the next president. Is the Democratic Party "Uncommitted" to Michigan and the other 47 states whose primaries follow Iowa and New Hampshire?
