it seems that HRC's concerns re MI have been solely to engineer an election to her advantage. She refused to support a caucus, as should be expected. But the rules written for the proposed election allowed only voters who had not voted in the Repug primary. For whatever reason it seems many of Obama's supporters, whose candidate was not on the ballot, went ahead and voted for Republican. I don't know all the backstory to that, but it seems to be the case. Naturally, none of Hillary's supporter did so.

In a rematch with a significant number of Obama's camp barred from voting. Hillary would certainly win. This is the arrangement that Obama opposes, as well he should. As this arrangement is no longer being pursued HRC seems to have lost interest.
