kronosposeidonsays...Jesus. What's she going to say next? That if Obama wins without Florida and Michigan he'll be the anti-Pope? This is what blind ambition looks like.

Whats up with the Fox News camera work?
MrFisksays...Michigan had a 'chance' and they broke the rules. Also, Hillary was the only one on the ballot in Michigan, so she may be wise to put all her eggs in that basket.

Fjnbksays...I'm a Michigander that thinks that the stripping of delegates was just. When I recently met Carl Levin, our Senator who was the main architect of the rule-breaking that Michigan did, he felt that the delegates SHOULDN'T be seated.
The entire point of the whole rule-breaking was to protest the unchanging primary calendar that gives Iowa and New Hampshire such overblown importance in deciding presidential nominees. After this primary season, Levin hoped that the Democratic National Committee would commit to a rotating calendar to give all states equal opportunity so embarrassing affairs like these wouldn't happen again.
The one thing that Levin didn't foresee was that the primary season would be so long this year, since he assumed that Iowa and New Hampshire would decide the nominee as usual. So now he looks like an idiot, but his original goal makes plenty of sense.
If Michigan's and Florida's delegates ARE seated, then it will show that the DNC is powerless and can't enforce any rules. Thus, if it tries to move back the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primaries, the states won't have to listen. The current calendar will remain and the two states will continue to enjoy their disproportionately important roles.
ObsidianStormsays...Fjnbk - EXCELLENT comment. I really had an incomplete understanding of the genesis of this whole fiasco, but you've done a great job of clearing a lot of that up.
