If there is anyone to blame, it's the state Democratic Party officials in both Michigan and Florida who knew they were going to have their delegates NOT COUNT if they didn't follow THE RULES.
Is it Obama's fault that they didn't play fair? Does rewarding a state that doesn't follow the rules and willingly breaks them help? Should all the states be able to change their schedule to what ever they want?
The political reality is obvious for both Michigan and Florida. The Democrats will not vote for McCain because he represents Bush Part III with the same disastrous free trade policies, anti-choice legislation and other issues that would only hurt them. Democrats in both states should look at their leadership and kick them out if possible for being the ones who actually disenfranchised the voters with breaking the rules.
