7. It would NOT be fair to allow FL delegates to count
unless they run another election. It's being debated but the state of FL doesn't want to pay for it.
Florida should pay for it because FL screwed up.
FL Dems ran early primaries despite the warnings from the DNC about the rules and penalties. Obama and other presidential candidates were not allowed to campaign in FL prior to the primary. This gave Mrs. Clinton a name-recognition advantage.
In Michigan, Obama wasn't even on the ballot.
The Florida Legislature Dems would like you to believe that the FL Legislature Republicans forced them into an early primary... but that is a total pile of crap. They wanted the early primary and played a deceptive game with the DNC to try to make it appear as if they were being forced to accept the terms
If you look at the vote and read the transcript this becomes very clear.
So it does not include superdelegates. In my opinion, revote or not, the superdelegates should not be seated. A revote would only redeem the pledged delegates.
