The Democratic primary, and thus, whoever ends up as the Democratic candidate, will have no claim to legitimacy unless Florida and Michigan are allowed to hold meaningful elections – and have those recognized by the party.

If not, one has to view the primary as a rigged election (rigged in Obama’s favor, given the demographics of Florida heavily favoring Clinton). No different, really, than what we decry when it happens in the third world.

Common Sense it is obvious you have no common sense about Florida nor Michigan. Educate yourself…

Facts about Florida from a Florida voter:

-The Florida primary was driven by a property tax amendment that affected many of the property owners in Florida contrary to what the MSM and Charlie Crist would have you believe. Of course they do not report this because then it would take away the premise that the primary was the driving force and weakens their argument.

-The only reason all of the names were on the Florida ballot is because by FLORIDA STATUTE they had to be on the primary ballot if they wanted to be on the presidential ballot. Evidently this is not the case in MI.

-The Republican legislature and Republican Governor approved moving the Republican primary up thus affecting the Democratic primary. The Republican party stripped only 50% of their delegates while the Democrats went postal and stripped ALL in accordance with their By-Laws. This was agreed upon by the DNC Rules Committee of which all candidates had representation. There was no protest from any of the campaigns who agreed to follow the rules and also agreed not to campaign there. The nerve that the Governor has to now insist they be seated is pure nonsense and pandering at its worst when he was the one who allowed this to happen. There was also a provision in the bill that the Democrats had to go along with so in effect the Democrats were trapped. Charlie Crist is a Republican and he will look out for Republican interests above all despite his effort at being so sincere. Beware of a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

-Hillary Clinton has a vested interest in Florida because she has the super delegates such as the Alcee Hastings, Bill Nelson, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Corrine Brown, etc. As it stands now, they will not be seated. If Barack Obama had won, can you honestly say Hillary Clinton and her campaign (Terry McAuliffe, Harold Ickes two former high powered members of the DNC elite) would be fighting so hard to get them seated? Terry McAuliffe was in Howard Dean’s position and set this whole thing up for Hillary and Bill to waltz into the WH. It was supposed to be over on Super Tuesday.

If not, one has to view the primary as a rigged election (rigged in Obama’s favor, given the demographics of Florida heavily favoring Clinton). No different, really, than what we decry when it happens in the third world.

Tell both states that their delegates will be seated at the convention EVENLY SPLIT between Obama and Clinton. Problem solved. Of course Hillay wouldn’t like theses results, but cheaters shouldn’t prosper.

More than that, she acts classy, Which is more than I can say for Michelle Obama.
