No One campaigned in either state. The process left Michigan votere disenfranchised.


Hillary would be singing a different tune if they were not so favorable to her.

1. Thank you
Best idea I've read.

(Wait for the Howling Monkey Chorus of Hillary supporters to read that, they'll come up with all kinds of excuses why thats not "fair".)

3. Any solution is better than not seating them.
the DNC screwed that one up. I think even many Clinton supporters would agree that that's a better solution than exclusion, which will just piss off voters (that, OBTW, whomever we nominate will need) in those states.

4. Florida has bullied the party, lied, and manipulated.
They sued the DNC and lost. It is time for Florida to grow up. It is time for people to admit it was the Hillary campaign people in FL and MI who pushed this thing from the start.

It was a bully play.

5. THANK YOU! I resigned from the DEC over this
and the war votes.

They were wrong and didn't care, then they played dumb. It was embarassing.

11. Why is it fair
to ignore the will of Florida voters?

Everyone's on the ballot - nobody's got an unfair advantage. If they vote for Clinton, they vote for Clinton and their votes should count.

2. Kucinich campaigned in Michigan.
Obviously, he's left the race now, but he certainly doesn't qualify as "no one".

8. I could see Michigan, perhaps
but I'm not convinced. The other candidates CHOSE to take their names off the ballot, and Kucinich did in fact campaign there.

Florida, absolutely not. All candidates are on the ballot, nobody's got an unfair advantage there. People are just upset that Clinton will, according to polls, win Florida, and they want to take away any advantage she might gain from that.

But if the people of Florida vote for her in a fair election, I think it's just sour grapes.
