"In an interview, Bond said the NAACP had taken no position in the race between Clinton and Obama and would not endorse either candidate. He sent the letter on behalf of the voters in Michigan and especially Florida, where the Republican-controlled legislature and governor changed the state's primary date.

"It struck me as making the voters, including minority voters in Florida particularly, victims of the Republican legislature in Florida. I wanted to get Chairman Dean to find some way to rectify the situation," Bond said."

I didn't know this, but it makes me more sympathetic to the concerns Bond expressed. If the state Democrats did not really defy the DNC rules, then I don't think that the FL voters should be penalized for this. However, I never know whether I am getting the full story from the corporate media.
