Poll question: If there's a conflict between the will of the elected delegates and FL/MI and the superdelegates
Edited on Fri Feb-08-08 02:22 AM by Ken Burch
I'm talking about the possible scenario in which Obama goes into the convention with a lead in the elected delegates, but HRC is ahead with the superdelegates and the illegitimate Michigan/Florida delegates if they are seated.

How should this be resolved?

Can a nomination, whoever it is for, that is imposed by the superdelegates and the Florida/Michigan delegates if seated possibly be valid and honorable?

How would you resolve this?

No offense, but nobody wants to see Ted in tights.

4. What about the will of the people in Michigan who didn't get to vote for who they wanted?
Only two candidates were on the ballot. They were disenfranchised and seating the delegates doesn't change that. The only way to give Michigan voters an honest voice is to have another primary.

5. True. And then you'd really need to have a new one for Florida
Since only one candidate campaigned there.
