13. Yeah, give her uncontested votes. I dare say if Obama
had campaigned in those states, it would have been a different story.

If it were reversed and Hillary's name hadn't been on the ballot and/or she hadn't campaigned in the state, and at that time, many didn't even know who she was, and if Barack had been the one who had gone against party rules, and left his name on the ballot, and gone to FL for his "victory"---in other words, if she had been the one who had played by the rules, would you think it was fair? I don't think so.

If the Democratic Party wants to be seen as truly democratic, they cannot subvert their own rules. Hey, if you want, lets have a redo--both campaign in those states. I have no fear that Obama would do quite well in a fair contest.

Geez.
