While expressing his desire to count the Michigan primary vote, Sen. Carl Levin (D-MI) pointed out that his state was not the only state that violated party rules.
CARL LEVIN:"The National Democratic Party adopted a rule, which we said we would live with and abide by providing they enforced it against everybody else. They did not enforce it against New Hampshire, which was supposed to go third under the rule. New Hampshire jumped ahead." CHECK BACK LATER TODAY FOR THE FULL MASHUP AND AUDIO CLIPSRELATED ARTICLES:Read Andre Walker's assessment on how Michigan and Florida were not the only states to violate party rules.

FULL CARL LEVIN QUOTE"We took a stand, which we thought was the right stand. The National Democratic Party adopted a rule, which we said we would live with and abide by providing they enforced it against everybody else. They did not enforce it against New Hampshire, which was supposed to go third under the rule. New Hampshire jumped ahead. Michigain said, well wait a minute, we're willing to abide by that rule, we'll go the way the rule says providing everyone else does. and the Democratic National Committee refused to do what a number of states have been fighting for a long time, open up this process so it's not always New Hampshire and Iowa that go fist and the huge impact that that has on the process."
