I live in MI also. The "pissed off" thing is not a myth at all. Maybe hardcore progressives aren't pissed but a lot of swing voters and independents sure are!

Now if Obama and the dems can find a way to seat the MI delegation I think things won't be affected. However, it could be bad for the dems in the fall if the convention rolls around and all the local papers and local news is talking about how we were locked out of the convention.
