Here is my solution to the Florida situation. . .

. . .Obama and Edwards should reach out to the Clinton campaign's request but with the following caveat. All 3 will board a plane from S.C. to Orlando 1 hour after we get the results on Saturday. Upon arrival in Florida they will jointly charter a plane/helicopter/bus and barnstorm the state together hitting every Florida media market on Sunday and Monday.

What do you guys think? There was an agreement not to campaign in Florida, but since the agreement is being tested I say the three of them work out an agreement, possibly sanctioned by the DNC.

1. Seems reasonable if you can get agreement on scraping all but NH for regional primaries

2. The ONLY solution is to adhere to the prior pledge not to count Floridas delegates

I hear the Hillary people all saying "but Obama is running (national) ads that are playing in Florida, its not fair!", but that logic breaks down if you understand that the Florida vote isnt meant to seat delegates.

Any advertising leaking into Florida isnt important if the state's delegates dont get seated per the pledge signed by Hillary, Obama, and Edwards.

Forget Florida.

3. I would agree but the Clinton folks are going to claim Florida is being disenfranchised. . .

. . .and they will continue to do so.

5. Doesnt matter.

Just point to the pledge Hillary signed last year and tell them she should have considered the issue of disenfranchising the Florida voters back when she didnt think she would need the additional delegates because she expected a cakewalk to the nomination.

She put herself into this situation, a real leader doesnt whine after she realizes she needs those votes to beat an opponent.

4. What if Hillary WOULD have won the nomination with the Florida votes counting

BUT doesn't without them?

How is that going to look?
Can you imagine the republican response?
Can you imagine Florida's response?

6. See my post above.

7. You are ignoring the implications of a close primary election

where the real winner is not the nominee due to the subtraction of the Florida voters. Think for minute how that will play and how it will look for the "unofficial" winner to be facing the republican spin machine.
