Given all the back and forth between the campaigns on the Florida and Michigan delegate issue, this trip is no doubt intended to bolster the re-vote effort in Michigan. The campaigns have been issuing competing press releases on the issue for the past couple days. Prior to Clinton’s announcement of this trip, the Obama campaign issued the following statement with respect to Michigan:

“We understand that when it comes to counting votes, the Clinton campaign favors whatever they think will benefit them. But on a day when Michigan legislators themselves have indicated that there isn’t enough legislative support for a re-vote—and when Senator Clinton’s own Michigan co-chair said that a re-vote ‘wouldn’t make much difference’—it doesn’t make any sense for them to point fingers at our campaign. As others in Michigan have pointed out, there are valid concerns about the proposal currently being discussed, including severe restrictions on voter eligibility and the reliance on private funding. Local election officials have indicated that they may be unable to discharge their responsibilities under the timetable this law sets. We have raised these concerns, as legislators in Michigan did today, and we’re waiting to see if these issues can be resolved by the legislature,” Obama campaign spokesman Tommy Vietor said.
