As party officials in Florida and Michigan scramble to get their delegates seated after royally lousing up and getting them banned in the first place, a key player has been entirely overlooked by mainstream media outlets.

Flying under the radar, a candidate no one is talking about drew an impressive 237,762 votes in Michigan, good for 40 percent of the primary’s tally.

Despite little name recognition and his name suggesting a lackadaisical air, the numbers don’t lie - and Hillary Clinton should be looking over her shoulder …

Hillary Clinton won the Jan. 15 Michigan primary with 55 percent, as this CNN table shows, but Uncommitted surprised pundits and came in a strong second.

This kind of showing despite limited resources and minimal effort suggests a strong grass-roots network of support for the upstart - and that the Democratic party may not be certain about co-frontrunners Clinton and Barack Obama.

With the magic number of 2,025 delegates still out of their reach, the possibility of an Uncommitted groundswell at the national convention is growing.

“I didn’t even campaign in Michigan, and 40 percent of people say I passed the Commander-in-Chief test!” Uncommitted told CNN’s Anderson Cooper.

The insurgent pleaded his case to voters, insisting that his relatively unknown status won’t discourage him from drawing new supporters.

“Look, if Jon Stewart can be a fake newsman that gets viewers, I can be a fake candidate that gets votes,” Uncommitted argued.

If Barack Obama is the candidate of change, and Hillary Clinton a candidate of pure evil, Uncommitted may seek to portray himself something in between: the candidate of moderate, quasi-corrupt adjustment.

Asked by Cooper about his health care plan - a critical issue for many voters - Uncommitted replied: “I’m not ready to take on that series of issues yet.”

As for his Iraq war stance, Uncommitted said: “I can’t promise anything.”

Such political views have established Uncommitted as a serious threat in the under-30, white, black and Hispanic single male demographic.
