Reply #25: From his campaign [View All]

Wilmington, DE (October 9, 2007) – In keeping with the rules established by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) regarding the Democratic Presidential primary calendar, today the Biden for President Campaign announced that Sen. Biden would not participate in the Michigan State Democratic Primary and that formal steps were being taken to remove Sen. Biden’s name from the ballot in that state.

“Today’s decision reaffirms our pledge to respect the primary calendar as established by the DNC and makes it clear that we will not play into the politics of money and Republican machinations that only serve to interfere with the primary calendar,” said Biden for President Campaign Manager Luis Navarro.

I see nothing about the paperwork being filed even in later reports on the withdraw.

Here's the problems Kucinich had.

Excerpt -

"Barack Obama, John Edwards and Bill Richardson filed paperwork Tuesday saying they were withdrawing. Two other candidates, Joe Biden and Dennis Kucinich, said in statements that they also were bypassing the primary.

But Kucinich twice filed incorrect paperwork with the secretary of state's office, and had not filed a notice of withdrawal with his notarized signature by Tuesday's 4 p.m. deadline, said the office's spokesman, Ken Silfven.

A campaign manager first signed the paperwork, then the campaign sent in another withdrawal notice signed by Kucinich. But the signature had not been notarized as required.

"Unless his camp wants to litigate the matter, his name will appear on the ballot," Silfven said Wednesday.
