So apparently there will be no re-do in Florida or Michigan? 3 part?

1.Are the Democrats going to let millions of voters be disenfranchised or are they just going to seat the delegates from the original primaries?

2.If they do decide not to seat the delegates from the two states, is this a good policy and will it backfire in the general election?

3. If they decide to seat as is could we see litigation from the Obama camp and what effect will this have at the convention?

    1. The states of Florida and Michigan made the decision to move the primaries despite the warning from the DNC that their delegates would not be seated in the nomination process for the party.

    2. Yes it is good policy to follow the rules set at the beginning of the election. Changing the rules would backfire more.

    3. Yes, it is likely many people would take the DNC to task for changing the rules.

    The 2 state messed up. It may be a though decision and certainly not popular in those states but is fair and just. When they learn to have clean primaries and election then they will be included. To the real democrats McCain is not even an option.

    if they do unfairly give Hillary all the delegates (Obama's name wasn't even on the ballot in Michigan and he didn't campaign under the impression that they'd have no delegates) I will be Mccain's new biggest supporter!

    They will vote again.

    It's just media hype
