Florida must count!
All the campaigns are now secretly campaigning "there under the table".

Florida is a vitally important state in the election and it must count heavily.

May the best man or woman win!

2. It will, Hillary's already racked up significant postal and early votes.

5. Attending fundraisers and a photo-op is hardly secretly campaigning. But I agree

with you I 'm sick and tired of not being counted. I don't care what the Florida Democratic party did or did not do. I don't want the GOP get the upperhand here.The whole thing is rediculous and bad for the overall election.

Clintons will get those delegates in the door.

9. Yeah, but the MI ballot had Clinton's name
along with "uncommitted".

Clinton won, made a victory speech, and if she needs delegates, she'll fight to get MI delegates in, along with FL delegates.

I wouldn't mind MI delegates getting in, but I'd like to see a "re-do" of the primary, with Clinton, Obama, and Edwards named as candidates. Otherwise, keep them out.

10. Realistically, the ONLY way it will count is if Hillary already has the nomination locked up
It will end up being the presumed nominee who sits or doesn't sit the delegates. Unless there is an exact tie, if Obama or Edwards goes into the convention ahead, they will not sit the delegates, effectivly giving the nomination to Hillary.

So in short, the only way they will count is if Hillary already doesn't need them.

11. And you would say the same thing, of course, if your candidate was losing there.

13. That is totally incorrect
this really has nothing to do with who is winning or who is losing to the voters. It only matters to Obama.
