1. Follow the established rules
instead of trying to rewrite them.

IIRC, the rules call for seating 50% of delegates.

2. On principle, they broke the rules and deserve zip.
However, I would consider 1/2 delegates with no supers as a compromise.

3. Oh, hell, I don't know...I want to say "zippo" because they
KNEW THE FUCKING RULES and did it anyway, knowing the consequences. But I hate to see the voters not have their voices heard, although it can't really be fair since not all the candidates campaigned or had names on the ballot. *sigh* Split all delegates 50/50 maybe, I guess, so the delegates get seated but nobody wins, nobody loses - I dunno.

4. My own personal opinion...
give a 50/50 in order to seat MI and FL at the convention. It rightfully wouldn't favor either candidate(since the MI and FL votes are suspect and we can never know what the will of the voters is.) It would also punish the real culprits... the state party officials who created this problem.(that's right contrary to Howard Wolfson's talking points it was the State DEM leadership that pushed for breaking the rules)
