Reply #84: I live in ME

and I'm an Obama delegate. My vote is just fine. When the Democratic State Committee was voting on the DNC rules, many of us wanted to change the 15% rule. After a long discussion we decided that since it meant that we risked not being seated, we voted instead for rules that while challenging the 15% cut off, said that we would abide with what the party put out. Thus, we held our primary at an appropriate date with the same rules that govern all of the state parties.

This went on in every state, and before final ratification were posted on their websites. It is unfortunate that FL and MI didn't debate this with an open mind.
