16. You should know what you're talking about before posting
All the candidates were asked to remove their names from the MI ballot in order to comply with the schedule determined by the DNC, and signed a pledge to do so. Obama complied, hillary refused to do so despite the pledge she signed. So you want hillary rewarded for breaking the rules, and Obama penalized for following them. That's mighty republican of you.

The candidates couldn't be removed from the FL ballot, since the ballot is determined by the SoS, not the candidates. The SoS could have decided to include Al Gore on the ballot for example, even though he wasn't declared... the SoS could also keep on the ballot a candidate who'd already withdrawn. So, FL was different than MI in that regard.
