Andrea:
There's no big secret (re your post earlier). Florida has a Republican Governor who approved the early voting because it suited the Republican Party. The Florida Democratic Committee was offered the alternative of holding caucuses later in the year rather than suffer the consequences of changing the Primary date (presumably not having delegates seated) but they declined and agreed to the early date. Our state Party leaders need to be held accountable for this.

If the DNC are willing to accept a re-vote then they are essentially bending the rules to allow FL and MI to count. Why, why can't they bend the same rules and find a way to count the votes that are already on the books so to speak and save 10 – 12 million dollars.
Put another way, isn't hosting a re-vote against some OTHER party rule???
Scratching my head in wonder.

Obama still trying to find a way to win. They have already voted, and
now, they want to give Hillarys wins to the media darling. Just wait, if by a miracle Obama manages to steal the nomination, you will see the media tear him apart, because they want McCain to br prez, and Obama will not stand a chance. The media also knows that McCain cannot beat Hillary Clinton who is the best choice for prez.

They had better come up with a solution! Law suits! Law suits!

It appears quite odd that a "state" would proceed with something like this knowing the DNC did not approve. It appears there was a great deal more to it than they can disclose. We are only being told what they want us to know.

Democrats need to win Florida & Michigan in November. It benefits both Hillary and Obama to have voters voices heard. The democratic party leaders need to fix this problem SOON.

MI and FL votes should be counted, DEM need find the right way to do it. If MI and FL votes are not counted, DEM will lost general election, whatever who is the nominee. If it is money problem, DEM's supporters can help. DNC chairman Dean should resign if he can't solve this problem. I'm a Hillary supporter, I hope Obama supporters can understand this situation.

GO Hillary 08!!!

Floridians have been hoodwinked....by their Rpublican Governor.

Incidentally, all this is about Florida. Whatever happened to Michigan?

Let's ask the voters what they want – 1) a do over or 2) replenish state budget of 10-15 mil that would be expended for a "redo", earmarked for schools, jobs, housing, etc.

For a long time, Florida maintained this equation:

'Election in Florida' = Mess.

That trend is being sustained. I am predicting this inperson + mail voting process will create more questions than answers. And its going to hurt democats.

Whatever happens the results from the first primary NEED to be thrown out. People in Florida were told their vote would not count, so why would they bother going to the polls? The first vote should have no bearing on the actual election since many many people didn't think it would and hence ignored it.

It was very clear without a doubt the rules were broken and the Florida and Michigan votes would not count. Afterwards, Hillary Clinton knows she won and now she wants the votes to count...................Thatss Very Childish!

Let the vote's that have already been cast count. Then Hillary will be winning the delegate count and not Obama.

Also, why are CNN and MSNBC avoiding the fact that Obama's so called preacher was making political comments from the pulpit. It is against the law and very newsworthy....but not a mention of it.....It just goes to show there bias for Obama.....they will protect him at any cost.

I am sure that the moderator will stop my comments as he or she does every single time I try to post. CNN is so liberal and biast. They are discriminating against me because I am white, I think.

Is it not possible to just have mail in primary for the people who did not vote the first time and just add those votes to the ones already voted, Obama campaign's main argument has been people did not show up for vote as they thought the election was not counted, now give them a second opportunity. I think this is fair and will cost much less.

Note over and over again is not a solution. Voters voted, let the vote count!

If Florida and Michigan gets to vote again what will stop republicans from going in and voting? They could really mess it up big time for the democrats.

A disaster and a dozen lawsuits just waiting to happen.

No 50/50 split

She needs all the help she can get at this point. The "first" primary was a sham. Of course she won't agree to split the delegates. It will only put her more deeply in a hole. It's a joke.

I feel sorry for the Florida voters. Clearly their officials are incompetent in running elections. We have seen it over and over in Florida. Let the officials pay for this blunder out of their own pockets along with Howard Dean. Whoever won the first primary should remain the winner. Splitting delegates is a bad idea and unfair since it is not the will of the people. Republicans have railroaded Florida Democrats over and over. It is time that they are stopped!

I live in Florida. I have to sit in front of multiple TV screens day after day after day and even on weekends. WHERE were these alleged ads by Obama run? I NEVER saw ONE. Who is spreading this propaganda? And what about the "victory party" disguised as a fundraiser that Hillary held here when all the candidates had agreed they would not particpate in Florida???

Rules are rules. Divide the delegates 50-50-take away the super delegate vote and let's move on.

Billary benefited from early votes cast in Fla. Also many voters did not turn out in either state,because the DNC said their votes would not count.
I believe it's wishful thining on the part of Billary supporters to think a re-vote would automatically go in her favor.

Rules are rules. Having said that if someone, or in this case some state, breaks the rule then there should be a punishment or penalty.

Why not allow a re-do in Michigan and Florida but don't allow their super delegates to be seated at the Denver convention.

After all it is their fault that this thing happened because they could have protested but decided not to even though they knew the consequences.

That way the people who had no say in when they should hold their election will have their say on who they would like to see as their nominee and the super delegates who had had their say will not be able to have more say and may be just maybe they will play by the rule next time.

For all the pea brains here who are criticize the people of michigan and florida for wanting to have it both ways....wake up and read a newspaper! these folks did not have a choice on loosing all their delegates! these folks did not have a choice in moving their elections up! it was the politicians who did it....and the people should not be punished for it!

Clinton is fully open to any idea to let voters be heard. Obama is pandering and wants no part of letting Floridians vote as he is likely to lose for a 2nd time in Florida.

Reducing the "needed to win" number is the best suggestion I've seen. Good idea Rohit Shah!

eh, i say let them re-take their vote. this is all getting to be old. i mean, is it their fault that they have no control over what is going on in their state? wait a minute, yes it is! have they learned nothing? this has been a problem in florida for years now. if they didn't care enough to fix it before, why care now?

Let's take second to deal with the real issues. We are a nation of rules and laws. We simply can not changed rules and laws when it will help our position. (Please see the Bush adminstration)We have the opportunity to improve our party by showing America, we will follow the rules from Alpha to Omega. Likewise rules should be changed and made into laws to prevent this nonsense from happen again. Florida and Michgan will have an opportunity for their vote to count, in the general election. Both states should turnout in record numbers during their state election and remove their law makers who made the decision to ignore the rules in first place. Every state will like to be Iowa!

THEY VOTED ALREADY - THE ELECTIONS DON'T COUNT!!!

DECISION MADE - LET MOVE ON!

THE OTHER 48 STATES ARE TIRED OF FLORIDA SCREWING UP THE ELECTIONS! REMEMBER YEAR 2000?!!

I have been against a re-vote but I like the idea of Trev up above. Redo the vote and have the Super delegates of the State loose their vote. Maybe next time they would fight for the rights of the people they represent better.

One things I can say about the current situation within the Democratic Party – Barack Obama will be a "fully vetted" candidate when he wins the nomination. He will ultimately owe a big thank you to Hillary, Bill, Geraldine, Florida and Michigan (and the list goes on) for preparing him for a "knock down, drag out" fight with the Republicans in November.

Obama '08

Yeah Harvey, We will just wait for you to provide limo service. Please be dressed appropriately for the occasion.

LOL

Obama 08

I find it frustrating that Michigan and Florida think they have a right to a "do over". They knew their votes would be worthless when they pushed to get in the primary spotlight, going against the party rules in the first place. The worst part is that they expect the Democratic Party or the candidates to foot the bill. If they are allowed to do this, I believe it sets a dangerous precedent.

Both state parties knew the rules, both chose to move forward and the votes were unfair and not valid to be counted. Either find a fair and equitable solution or award the delegates proportionally at the end of the primary season based on delegates pledged and the popular vote!

Clinton calling the votes "fair and should be counted" reached a new low even for her! We should call her the great divider because she has so divided the party that it may not recover!

Listen up people>>. I don't see why there should be a re-vote...Florida and Michigan broke the rules by moving there primaries, why should they be rewarded for breaking the rules>>> split the delegates 50/50 between the candidates, and let's move on...If the DNC change the rules now, what is that saying about their leadership>>>break the rules and you will be rewarded ? that's not a good message to be sending to the country>>>>there is always a consequence when you break rules..!!!! Let's move on to the real issues at hand, beating the Republicans in November>>>>Go Obama 08/12!!!!!~

Any way you look at it – Obama campaigning in Fla- against the rules.
I remember TV reports and filmed footage shown on CNN and other media.

Perhaps he didn't have the usual speeches and rallies scheduled, BUT he was there with a silent campaign strategy, prior to the Florida vote. His SIX-FOOT presence in the form of LIFE-SIZED COLORED CARDBOARD CUT-OUTS of HIMSELF were scattered in many locations and shown on CNN -TV.

I'm sure many, many others remember this as well and can attest to it.

Hmmmm.... interesting.

On the one hand you have a punishment leveled out on the voters, who were never at fault, and on the other, you have rule-breaking politicians who are showing that they can get away with their flagrant disobedience with a small slap on the hand.

Here's a fair compromise: FL and MI STILL get no delegates, and the enraged Democratic constituency will ensure that the slimy politicians they voted into office are forced out of the public sector for squandering their votes.

Hmmm again. I will believe it when I see it. I guess ole Bill Nelson realize he is not the end all be all for the Democratic Party. That is what happen when you give some people a little power, they abuse it.

By the way, Ezquiel Valdillez is an idiot!!

whata paryt, what a mess.
I'm obama and I said : YES! WE CAN. WE CAN LOWER THE OIL PRICE AND FIX THE ECONOMY. YES, WE CAN! WE CAN BEAT ANYBODY ON OUR WAY, NO MATTER WHITE OR YELLOW...

what i think about florida and mechigan is that the rules are there,the parties involved are there and tha party officials are there.there should work out something that will appear fair.just for the interest of the party and the american people.

People, it's not about who campaigned and who didn't...

IT'S ABOUT WHO DIDN'T SHOW UP AT THE POLLS BECAUSE THEY WERE TOLD THEIR VOTE WOULDN'T COUNT.

Don't forget them. A re-vote is the ONLY fair solution.

No revote. Florida already had a primary. Hillary won Florida.

Obama should be stripped of his delegates in Florida for running ads(AGAINST THE RULES).

You forgot to mention that Obama ran cable TV ads in Florida. CNN when are you going to learn what "balanced reporting" means? I thought that was Journalism 101 but you still don't get it.

Florida is getting too old. may be they cannot digest election any longer. Let them enjoy the water.

Why are you not holding Obama accountable for his comments in Sept 07 that he would do everything in his power to seat the FL and MI delegates. Did he add "unless I lose there?" Clearly he thought he could win. He ran ads there. Now you accuse Hillary of wanting this for her own ambitions. Another flip-flop by Obama

Based on the 2004 election we all know Florida is not the state that should be used as a tie-breaker. In addition the state knew the rules and still scheduled the vote too early in the first place. It's unfortunate for the individual voters but every action has a consequence and sometimes those consequences have negative impacts on innocent bystanders...this is no different.

Don't re-vote, but the original primary votes in FL as is. That's the fairest and most intelligent thing to do.

"Neither candidate campaigned there, though Clinton held a few permitted fund-raisers"

Once again CNN highlights HRC's legitimate fundraisers but neglects to mention that Sen. Obama actually ran ad on television, ostensibly because he was "unable" to run national ads without including Florida.

I appreciate the elected officials wanting to have Florida's votes count, but the time to do their job was back when they decided to break the rules knowing full well the consequences.

A re-vote is wrong on several levels. It will allow Florida to be or do what it wanted (be critical in the nomination process) to do by breaking the rules. That will encourage other states to break the rules in the future.

The delegates should be seated such that they do not impact the race as it stands right now – 50/50.

I can see them having a couple of choices. Either split the delegates 50/50, or if neither state wants to foot the bill for a new primary, then subtract the the delegates from the 2025 needed, and work with that new number as delegates needed to win the democratic primary. It was the the governors of the respective states of Mi and Fl who could have stopped the whole mess. Neither one of them have taken any kind of personal responsibility for signing the bill allowing this. They knew full well what was going to happen.

Congrats to Florida! Glad to hear your state will be counted... and re-counted fairly, too,

Comeon Michigan, get your act together.

It's ironic... they moved their primaries up to be more prominent in the process... and got their primaries thrown out. But this election year, late in the season brings more prominence than early. An expensive and emotional lesson learned. Next time, just follow the rules.

550/50 wont be fair in this situation because clinton won these states by a land slide. The election wasn't dishonest- it was only early. Count the votes and lets get on with the race.

Why should there be a do over in FL? All the names were on the ballot and no one campaigned there, tho the national Obama ads made it onto TV there. The $$ saved could go to improving the growing problems in our economy. Why waste more money to re do a vote that already took place?

Where is the apology from Obama for his surrogate General McPeak saying that Obama would make a better commander-in chief because he doesn't "go on television and have crying fits?" What a sexist remark! Men who well up are "sensitive" but a woman can't show a tear.

And yea–this is just what I want on the resume for my commander-on-chief–he doesn't cry on TV.

This new proposal of the combined voting is even worse than mail-in ballots only. Now you can do both! And believe me, Clinton and her cronies will find a way to do it! Dammit–just when you thought that corruption MIGHT have a chance to end..............

Democratic Party–stick with you decisions!

Florida is in the election news again, let's hope it doesn't turn in to a disaster like the past elections.

..."Many of our best educated..best trained troops refuse to fight...it's safe to say that they would rather switch...than fight !!"

-Farrakhan

The DNC needs to get this done. The delegates should be seated for Michigan and Florida. A redo is rediculous and will only cause more problems. The candidates need to get back on message and the campaigns need to stop all the stupid infighting. I want to hear what they plan to do and not he said / she said gossip.

why are we still talking about this???it;s done!time to move on already.cnn where's the ticker of the endorsement of flag officers obama got???

Why is it that the Democrates always seem to eat there own?

CNN.... you run a very crappy comment/blog. Within 20 seconds of writing about Clinton's apology, it said that the section had been closed. Why run a blog system when everyone can't write on it?

Bring It ON!!!!

Obama 08

I don't see why they even need to hold another vote in Florida. Both candidates were on the ballot. I thought the only thing wrong was that they held the election too soon? If there wasn't anything inherently dishonest with the 1st election- why do it over?

The REPUBLICAN party leaders in Florida and Michigan are responsible for this mess. Why is the media ignoring that fact in its reporting of this problem.

Please shed more light on the role of the REPUBLICAN governors in this mess. They are the one's who decided to move the primary dates up to become more relevant. Repubs are clowns!

Sorry CNN, but Obama ALSO held fundraisers there... cmon journalists, do your job!

Also, why are you not covering Obama's reverands nasty comments? You kill the hell out of Ferraro story, but dont' cover Obama's spiritual leaders comments?

I aint black nor white.

Barack will be a great example to black community and he is well qualified compared to corrupted clintons. I do not see anything wrong them supporting him coz they want a good example for their kids. He won Vermont, Iowa, Washington, Kansas where black democrat % is less. This is not an issue of race. Sorry, Good Vs. Bad.

I think the entire primary process has to be revised Why can't Dems and Repubs hold a state primary on the SAME day? Why can't we have regional primaries, similar to Super Tuesday? Above all get rid of those stupid caucases. They violate the concept of the secret ballot, disenfranchise the elderly, the handicapped as well as shift workers.
We are a better country than this and have the capacity to change A BAD SYSTEM .

Let the votes be counted and Hillary will win, as she is the True Winner!

Count the votes as they are and get on with it. If Obama was ahead in these two states it would have already been counted, seated. He seems to slide right on through, especially with caucases that are handled terribly and no one says a thing.

Obama what happened to "the will of the people"? I guess if you are the nominee you will not need Florida and Michigan's votes in the general election to win because you won a bunch of "red states". What a loser!

Thank you, Robbie, for pointing out the obvious.
Two ticker items in a row are biased,
"Clinton did something she rarely does...she apologized." Seems to me we could say that about both sides

And " though Clinton held a few permitted fundraisers..." Obama ran ads!!! He says they "bled" from neighboring states, but you know full well exactly where the ads will run when you buy the air time. More lies from Obama.

Why is that Michigan is not mentioned in do over Primary?Did Clinton wanted to make sure that FL does first so that she can gain substantial pledged delegates than later maybe Michigan.She is as fraud as she can get.

Are we to trust a state that couldn't even get a walk-in vote right with a mail-in vote! I'm already seeing every possible scenario of what could go wrong.

Oh boy.....I need my "HeadOn" again.

The Clinton's have done more for black votes in the last twenty years than just about any American politician. It's a shame in this election cycle how that demographic is abandoning them and they have come under such criticism. How soon we forget and lose appreciation for the past.

Why spend the money for a do-over in Florida? All of the candidates name were on the ballot. They all agreed not to campaign in Florida even though Obama ran an ad there. Set the delegates as they are in Florida. Michigan on the other hand sould have a do-over since 2 of the candidates had remove their names from the ballot. Just so Obama can't WINE about it.

FL state government is responsible for this mess. DNC must be consulted before deciding on primaries because this process is entirely a matter for the political parties. Voting in a primary is not a constitutional right but the party voters in FL lost their right to select their candidate because of the unilateral decision of the state government. DNC ha more say on primary than the state government.

In Michigan, Obama's name was not in the ballot. How can any one agree with the Michigan state government? They simply showed disrespect to the democracy and betrayed the rights of the democrats.

So, some kind of punishments are needed.

No candidate campaigned there??? Are you kidding me? Obama aired commercials in Florida! I don't care if they were nationwide commercials they still aired in Florida which makes him campaigning in Florida. Geez, if Clinton aired commercials we would have never heard the end of it. CNN is unbelievable it mentions that Clinton held a few fundraisers but fail to mention the commercials Obama aired. Ferraro is right. Can't touch Obama with a 50 foot pole.

just unbelievable if this goes ahead. Dean should not even attempt to agree with this. the rules were broken. what's the point of even having any rules?

Yeah....let's redo the voting.
As an Asian-American male and a minority, I agree with Ferraro, Obama is nothing but fancy talk. When discuss the black issue in this country, every crtical statement is considered a racist to them. Now, black votes for Obama because he is black.
Time for Asian and Hispanic vote for HILLARY because she is a wowan...Let's the racial game begin.

I think that Charlie Crist (the Republican governor of Florida) should at held least partially responsible for this mess. He was involved in moving up the primaries, which greatly benefited John McCain (who became the obvious favorite after he won the early primary in Florida). Now many political pundits believe Crist will be McCain's vice presidential running mate. I'm not saying it's a conspiracy, but it's very fishy. Democrats in Florida should hold Crist responsible when his next election comes up.

Florida can help America by first, admitting their bone-headed decision to break the DNC rules. Then have a re-vote, but PAY for it. Why should others have to suffer, because Florida broke the rules.

The same goes for Michigan. Man-up, pay for your mistakes.

I'm still not over 2000, and I blame Florida for Bush's failed administration.

Trev makes a good point. The best solution is to punish the superdelegates and take them out of the equation. Let the people of MI and FL vote. Both candidates have a good chance in both states. There are a lot of older voters for Clinton and there are a ridiculous amount of young voters/college students that play to Obama's strength. Michigan has a lot of rural areas that play to Clinton's strength and it has urban areas of Grand Rapids, East Lansing, and Detroit that play to Obama's strenght. However, MI should probably do a caucus because they have experience at doing it and it is less expensive.

Vote Hillary!!

Obama is scared of the huge 17% loss he recieved in Jan..Don't be scared of the Latino/Cuban vote in Florida...

Obama supporters are suffering of savants syndrome

See what I mean, read these blog, you Clinton Haters are terrible. Why can't all you accept some responsibility. Hillary isn't dividing the Democratic party, you Clinton Haters are! You Clinton Haters make the crudest and rudest remarks. Knock it off. Does anyone have any decency here?

one last point, How many languages are we going to utilize for the mailing and who is goining to provide updated mailing addreses and who is going to verify signatures when the ballots are received and who is going to train the staff to handle millions of mailed in ballots??? This whole concept is off the wall. 50/50 is fast and easy and the 15 million can be donated to a Florida fund to feed the Homeless. What say ye all?

No. No. No. NO REVOTE. FL party leaders broke the rules and they knew it. Why do they get to revote? Worse yet, NO ONE is reporting WHY and WHO made this decision. Look at the breadcrumbs and we will see Clinton is forcing the issue because she is losing. SORE LOSER.

If FL votes again, I quit the Dem party for good. WEEEEEAK.

Blaming the candidates for decisions made by the states is ridiculous, regardless of which candidate you support. This is just one more case of the rules only apply if every one likes them. Maybe the citizens of Florida and Michigan should remember that their state representatives did not represent their best interests when voting the next time. This is supposed to be a government for the people, by the people....

Sen Obama and his`advisor does not want Florida and Michigan to be counted. When revote comes Boot Sen Obama out. Let him spend his vacation in Hawai with kerry the looser and Kennedy.

Obama supporters fear any equitable solution in FL or MI. They know Clinton will win and win BIG, knocking his pledged delegate count into the dust.

The voters of these states didnt' cause these problems. They deserve to vote and have it count.

In a Sept 30, 2007 article in the Tampa Tribune, Obama said he would "do right by the FL voters." Which side of his mouth is he talking out of this week?

One of the characteristics which sets America apart from other countries is the 'rule of law' ...and hwile no laws govern primaries..there were rules...everyone knew the rules,and changin the rules in the middle of the race...its like playing a fifth quarter in football ,after the game is over..

accept the facts and move on to november...

once again CNN has to get that dig in about hillary having APPROVED fundraisers in Florida... NEWS FLASH CNN so did Obama but you didn't mention that, his were in St. Petersburg...imagine that !!!!!

Does nobody here get it? The primary was not moved by the FL Democratic party. It was moved by the Florida Legislature (with a Republican majority), and signed by the FL Governor (who is a Republican).

So it seems fair to all of you, to have FL Democrats' votes not count, because the Republicans moved the Primary?

Now I see why so many comments are made about Democrats snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

If you think the hanging CHADS were a problem, wait for the mail. The state is not set up for such an electoral event and a state law, I believe prohibits an election by mail. How do you select those who are not registered Dems? Or do we just forget independants? Split the Delegates 50/50 and save 15 mil as the end result will only be a few delegate votes one way or the other. The last six primaries and causus events were dead even. The press and the cable TV want the contention and all the ratings it brings, but enough is enough as the party is being torn apart right in front of your very eyes and could well rupture as I fear it can't take much more. 50/50 is the best policy.

What is it about FLORIDA and elections.
Jeez! Is it something in the water?

Is it a constitutional right to vote in a primary? I saw someone say that, and I have seen people say it other places, but where in the Constitution is there the right to vote in primaries. I don't think it is, so its not a Constitutional Right, but I could be wrong. Thats why I am asking.

It's amazing how the FL democratic party decided to go forward with it's plans to hold their primaries early in direct oppositon to the DNC directive knowing the ramifications full well, but now they are crying about it. Even worse was their crazy rationale for doing it initially. Clearly they never anticipated this would happen...a neck and neck primary! Now they are scrambling to fix the mess and want everyone else to pay for it. UNBELIEVABLE! Idiots one and all!

Florida goofed up the 2004 election and here they go again! It's like the Keystone Cops are running that state!

I have family in Florida and they all voted in their primary and say they do not know anyone who did not vote. I think Florida should keep it's vote and let their delegates be seated in Denver. If not, I know a lot of Democrats from Florida who will be angry enough to sit out 2008 election.

Let all votes be counted!

We are the party that COUNTS THE VOTES. The GOP said "Rules are rules" in election 2000 and we said, "COUNT THE VOTES"

However we do it, do it we must (with apologies to Yoda!)

If Florida and Michigan are allowed revotes, I think ALL the states should demand revotes! Why are FL and MI special? Why should they have more influence than any other state?

I think it is important to get both MI and FL to seat their delegates at the convention. In FL Obama and Clinton were in there the dnc can just consider the results and MI must do-over because it was only Clinto was there.

Let the voters vote. Obama campaigned there, he ran adds on cable and they were shown in Florida & Mich. give me a break.

"TELL THE TRUTH"

I hope that we can finally get to the issues. My husband reminded me of that. Everyone has gotten so involved in hate mongering and stupid issues that are meaningless. The candidates need to tell us more of what they plan to do and the supporters need to encourage this. There are a lot of undecided voters out there who are still waiting to hear something real to help them make up their minds.

With Florida's legacy of stealing elections, I am against a mail-in voting process. There would be too many opportunities for fraud.

Once again the people of Florida have shown how little they care about national elections...The elected officials and the people of Florida made a choice to vote early and they alone must carry the burden of cost for their mistakes...If they want to be heard pony up the money and vote again...48 states got it right, what the problem Florida???

I am so sick and tried of being my brothers keeper...Rules are rules follow them and everything works out...Does the government have to turn the light off every night in Florida???

No Re-do !!! Split the delegates, send them to the convention, and Michigan and Florida, follow the rules. The Michigan vote was not a fair vote. My brother in Michigan voted for McCain, because Obama wasn't on the ballot. Most of my friends, didn't vote at all, because they thought it didn't count. I voted uncommitted to go with the 40% that voted uncommitted). My parents in Florida, voted for McCain, because they are registered Republicans. In Florida, you cannot vote in a party other than what you are registered. They will not vote for Hillary in any way. They will vote for Obama in the National election, if not McCain. What a mess the officials in Michigan and Florida have caused. Our election system sucks !!

still believe Florida and Michigan should be punished by loosing half their delegates to curb such flagrant disregard for the rules in the future. Whatever the case, Me and a large number of my friends in Florida will be sending in a party affiliation change from Independent to Democratic ASAP so we can cast a vote for Obama. Bring on the revote!

I am so disgusted at the black voters and there hatred of Hillary. Now as a liberal dem in GA – I will never support Obama...there is such a double standard going on...this is what is ridiculous...

Hillary can't say bump or people jump on her with race this race that...this will backfire against obama...and his baiters...

Obama's pastor said this, so tell me where is he lying?

“Fact number one: We’ve got more black men in prison than there are in college.

“Fact number two: Racism is how this country was founded and how this country is still run.

“We are deeply involved in the importing of drugs, the exporting of guns and the training of professional killers. … We believe in white supremacy and black inferiority and believe it more than we believe in God. … We conducted radiation experiments on our own people. … We care nothing about human life if the ends justify the means.

There should not be a re-vote simply because Florida and Michigan knew the rules (and the consequences) ahead of time, and yet they chose to break them! Surely, the people who live there didnt do anything wrong, but their elected officials did, and Im sorry, but rules are rules. If you dont like the outcome, you should have played by the rules. I dont think any of the re-vote options would lead to a fair election and Florida and Michigan should just man up and accept the consequences of their not following the rules set by the DNC. Im sorry!

It nice to see you old bats fired up.

It seems this situation would call for the super delegates to step-up and step-in. Isn't this part of the super-delgates responsibilty in this type of situation? FL and MI DNC knew the rules. Strip the popular vote and just use the super-delegates. Thanks.

No.. The rules should stand. Where was all this whining and protesting when the bills were written and voted on? Quit blaming the DNC.. Next time you vote for your crummy legislators, remember who voted YES..

Obama didn't violtae the agreed upon and established legal protocol. The Clinton Campaign did. Don't cry foul now..

It s apparent to me that by Florida and Michigan violating the DNC rules they are actually getting rewarded.

Do you realize that since these 2 states will be the last states voting and with the amount of delagates they have. They weill have enormous power in determining the next nominee....

so what is fair for the rest of the country

DNC better provide buses for the black voters or someone will have to say I am sorry for being a racist

I'm not opposed to a revote, if it'll keep the Shady First Lady from claiming she was robbed after she loses the nomination to Senator Obama.

Obama is just a joke for this presidential race in 2008.

If you guys do not believe me, let us see soon!

He is a peson who try to play race card to beat Hillary, I do not understand why those Obama supporters are so bilnd

Go Hillary 2008

I want my state to revote because we didn't give Obama enough delegates.

this is only my opininion but it seems to me that the people that made the decision to change the date whomever that is-knowing there votes would not be counted if they did that -and the Hillary/Obama campaigns that want the poor disenfranchized citizens voices to be heard can split the bill. Problem solved.

I don't know why the democrats are so mad at each other. The republican ran state legislatures are the ones who decided to move the Florida primary ups. The democrats need to stick together and move forward with whatever fair solution is proposed.

The media and "angry women" bias for Hillary is making me puke. Please sit down or make me some dinner.

i live in Florida, I DID NOT VOTE because we were told IT WOULDNT COUNT. anyone who voted mostly did so for a tax break that was being voted on the same day.
If they're going to do this thing right Im not paying for it. DNC you pick up the tab. Or maybe Charlie Christ since he cares about democrats so much all of a sudden

""Sit Florida and Michigan out, Subtract 366 from 4049. Make a new magic number of 1832, get our nominee, and move forward.""

The 4049 figure already excludes Florida and Michigan. If they return to the process, the number becomes 4415.

I still believe Florida and Michigan should be punished by loosing half their delegates to curb such flagrant disregard for the rules in the future. Whatever the case, Me and a large number of my friends in Florida will be sending in a party affiliation change from Independent to Democratic ASAP so we can cast a vote for Obama. Bring on the revote!

This is a clearly a waste of time and money, that has nothing to really do with the disenfranchisement of Florida voters but a lot to do with Mrs. Clinton's ambitions... Florida is being manipulated once more! The Latino community will be manipulated once more! The USA will lose again!

I have a plan for the Florida and Michigan delegates that is easy and fair to both candidates. Give half the delegates to Clinton and the other half to Obama and the same for the superdelegates. This way each person will have the same amount. I believe this is fair and requires no money to re do a primary.

Guys can we please move away from the racial and gender slurs.

Just keep to the subject matter. I say split everything 50-50 and be done with it. That cost nothing. In addition, it sends a clear message not to break the rules and then expect to get your way.

My children already understands this concept

CNN, What is the matter with your censorship? Freedom of pres yet you cannot post one's opinion I guess your real name is the Clinton News Network..Shame on You !!

Waaahhh... Im losing so now lets break all those stupid rules... Lets change all the rules AGAIN because Im LOSING!!! Bill.. Do something....
You know I must get my way .., It is always about ME!!!!! ME!!!! ME!!!!! With Luv, Billary

So they are going to run an "experiment" and do mail in voting they have never done before? I guess we should all run down to our favorite nursing home and check Clinton's name for them. This smells very fishy.

First of all, studies are showing that 24% of white Republicans voted for Hillary Clinton in Mississippi. Take out that equation, and you would then have @ 65% of whites voting for Clinton and @35 % of whites voting for Obama. In Mississippi, 35% of whites is HUGE. I know. I'm from the south. Secondly, The Clintons are Machiavellian strategists, and they will use any subtle means necessary to win the Presidency for themselves. Do not think that their subtle racial remarks were not meant to have an effect on whites. they were.

Just say No!

News Flash Hillary, we were offended, and your non-apology is NOT accepted.

And yes, you are sorry.

Change you can believe in: Obama would turn this into a union of 48 states if he could.

Apparently, his campaign is only for some Americans.

You agreed to the rules. Stick to them.

Please Florida get it done and pick up the phone and call Michigan.

Change you can believe in: Obama would turn this into a union of 48 states if he could.

LET FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN BE HEARD!

It is so ridiculous how the rules have conveniently changed. Had Obama received more votes, would this be up for discussion? NO! Another way for Hillary to TRY AND STEAL her slot as nominee. Why would you want to win that way? And besides, the results of the revote will not change the results of this campaign that much... are you kidding me? Money wasted over a bruised ego!

Change you can believe in: Obama would turn this into a union of 48 states if he could.

This is a chance for people of Florida to reject Sen.Obama outright.He has been against counting Florida and Michigan.Wake up Florida and Michigan.Show Obama the door.
Thomas

This will happen, THANK GOD, democracy prevails! Money raised by fund raising from both candidates campaigns will pay the tab. 15 Million is easy to raise, considering Barack campaign raised 55 Million in February and Hillary campaign raised 35 Million in February, not to mention that 4 Trillion was spent in Iraq but that's besides the point (just injected that last part so it's understood raising 15 Million isn't as big of a deal). The tax payers wont have to pay is what my conclusion is. The money comes from fund raiser and campaign contributions.

A 50/50 split benefits who? Obama of course, that is why he is against a re-vote. Florida law prohibits a write in vote, so forget that scenario. Let the Superdelegates decide if their votes matter or not.

Sit Florida and Michigan out, Subtract 366 from 4049. Make a new magic number of 1832, get our nominee, and move forward.

Article failed again to point out Obama ran TV ads in FLA.

The thing with mail-ins is that the method is not fraud proof, and the stakes are high. If you thought the chads were a problem, just wait and see...

I thank hillary should win because us MEXICAN AMERICANS NEED HER

There is no reason for Florida to re-vote. All candidates name were on the balot and everyone that attended voted as if our vote would count. There is always a mess in Florida, why is that? A mail in vore is not the answer. Why should we trust that the mail-in vote will be counted correctly? Our votes from January 29 should stand, we voted in good faith.

Clinton apologize because she needs black voters. I was listening her interview on MPR news and I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I am a white woman , strong democrat who used to support Clinton, but no more. If Obama would be out of the picture, I would rather vote for Bush, McCain or any other republican 1000 times over than for Clinton. Those who vote for her must be Elementary School drop put and on drugs. America weak up before it's too late.

I THINK FL SHOULD VOTE IT'S ALL ABOUT THE PEOPLE VOICE

Suppose that Obama or Clinton becomes the new president of the United States. What kind of legalization whould he/she have if not every single voter in the country has had the opportunity to express his/her opinion? You simply can not exclude big states like Michigan and Florida or any other state whatever the reason is. You can not punish citizens for decisions made by party-leaders. Even the Obama campaign should realize that.

Okay, okay.....the REPUBLICAN LEGISLATURE moved up the primary! Why should the Democrats be penalized???? Howard Dean and the DNC should give it up and let the votes count. Obviously Obama advertised when he should not have advertised!!! Methinks he doth "protest too much." COUNT THE VOTES!

Its a tough situation, and I trust Barrack Obama to take a leadership role in helping carve out an equitable situation. This will be a good experience for him since he'll be sitting across the table from a madwoman who might launch a new bomb at him at any second.

Nothing the Obama campaign says can in any way argue that two states should be left out while claiming the nomination with superdelegates. I'ts that simple.

the reverse racism in America by Obama people is sick

Revote by mail?
I wonder how many ballots are going to "fall" behind a table and be found 50 years later.
And old political trick!

Senator Clinton is on the verge of destroying the Democratic Party. I hope someone points this out to her before she completes the devastation.

Obama DID campaign here. We All saw his television ads!

He STILL LOST. That is why he does not want a new vote.

Michigan & Florida broke the rules...Other states abided by them...These two states should not be allowed to participate...Especially Florida...Has everyone forgotten the role they have played in the past two elections?...I feel for the real voters whose votes won't be counted but they need to take it up with their elected officials..as in boot them out!

the media bias against Hillary is sick

Are they going to make sure that republicans don't vote because they're just going to try to cause problems.

It would be sweet justice if they had a do-over and Obama won... would she quit then?

they will never go for it.. the end result is the clinton campaign wants the votes to count as they are.. and the obama campaign wants to get half just because he is blk and thinks he deserves half of everything right now..

Couldn't the state of Florida put 25 MILLION DOLLARS to a better use , like
Forclosures ,,unemployment benifits, new jobs.

Hillary's wasting your money already GO HILLARY !!!!!!!

WHO IS GOING TO PAY FOR THIS? NOT THE DNC OR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, I HOPE.

2012 will be chaotic, each state will want to have primary in January and the DNC will not be able to punish them.

more Clinton backdoor politics to not play by the rules. If Obama was favored to win this state do you think they would be fighting so hard to count these votes. NO!

Why does this country consistently reward bad behavior?! The leaders of FL chose to break the rules and in doing do, they chose the consequences. End of story.

On no, not again. Please Floridians, sit this one out. Don't hold the country hostage again.

When you guys get your act together, join the rest of America. Until then, we'll do just fine without you.

Question...Wouldn't a mail-in vote take forever? Don't they have to validate the voter and the voters signature? Seems like there could be too much corruption to do this. Especially in Florida.

Obama is against Re-vote because he called the result of the Primary in Florida a "BEAUTY CONTEST"! First of all, that comment was anti-voters of Florida, anti constitution because voting is one of the basic rights granted by our constitution and it's not a "BEAUTY CONTEST" as Sen. Obama stipulated, UN-PRESIDENTIAL and UNBECOMING a SENATOR for Sen. Obama's unproud, ungreatful and disrespectful remarks. This is not the kind of Presidential candidate the American voters want and I am sure Florida voters will respond to Sen. Obama's insult comes RE-VOTE time.

STOP IT! FOR GOS'S SAKE JUST STOP! We've all been over this a thousand times why we can't reasonably or fairly use the existing counts or do a re-vote. Just stop messing with people, and let this disaster die it's natural death!

This isn't a poke at the good people at Florida but there leaders that run there elections. I don't favor a redo unless they get a good team from another State that knows how to conduct a election without major problems. Lets face it 2 of the last 3 election that were important Florida some how made the news with there problems.

Let the people of Florida be heard. I hope Michigan can get its act together. These will be important states in the general election!

Does the Clinton camp really think that her apology speech was taken seriously after all the gender card and race card pattern exhibit by the Clinton camp? Gosh, Oh mighty give us a break!

Sen. Clinton's apology is nothing more than a strategic and rehearsed speech written by one of her staffers. It's NOT a sincere or truthful display of her true feelings. Like Bill, she's lying through her teeth when she claims in a room full of African Americans that she's sorry.

If she was truly sorry she would have done the right thing and fired Geraldine Ferraro from the start to avoid and questions raised about her role in this whole mess. Instead Sen. Clinton sat back quietly and allowed Ferraro to continue with her racists comments over and over again. Case and point, even with her stepping down, Ferraro is still ranting on about her racists banter while wearing a "Hillary" T-Shirt! HA! HA! Where is the sincerity here? She's even apologizing for Bill Clinton's bashing regarding South Carolina. She's having to apologize for him too.

There is no remorse here, Sen. Clinton is only sorry that her race card tactic BACKFIRED on her. Bottom line.

I still say the answer is simple, let them vote however they want, mail-in, in person, on a piece of paper with a crayon if they want. Add up all the votes, give it a % split and give FL two (2) delegates if the vote isn't at least 60-40 they split them if it is over 60-40 one gets both the other gets neither. Problem solved the voters voted, the votes count and Florida will know what happens when they violate rules.
Same goes for Michigan, everyone is satisfied.

Have a revote, and make it paid for in full by the people who decided to move the primary up. We're punishing the people of florida because their legislature doesn't know how to read a rule book. Oh, and for all those people that claim that a re-vote would be "rewriting the rules as we go along", this process is a legal part of Democratic Party rules. As long as you follow the proper procedures, you're allowed to cast a re-vote, and this wouldn't be the first time it has happened. The only roadblocks are the funding and people who don't understand that they are and have always been allowed to do it.

Clinton's campaign has offered to raise money to pay for half of the cost for do over votes. Obama refuses to put up any cash, because he really does not want those states to have a say in the process.

He claims mail in votes disenfranchise voters, which is strange since he was a co-sponsor on a bill advocating for mail in votes. Obama was FOR mail in votes before he was AGAINST them.

I think the best and fair way to count florida and Michigan is to split the delegate votes in the middle between Senator Clinton and Senator Obama

Brekev from NY

The window of opportunity presented itself to Florida. They elected and rejected to not to abide by the rules and hold their primaries earlier, knowing that their delegates would not be seated at the convention. Now because it would benefit Hillary Clinton politically, who is behind in delegates and popular, they want to expunge what they knowlingly elected to do. If you tell a person that if they rob the bank they are going to go to jail; and he/she robs the bank knowing the outcome, you don't give them a second chance. That is not political strategy, that is old fashion common sense.

concerning the FLA &MICH. vote in there primary votes .solution
give sen.Clinton the votes she won &sen.Obama the rest.

DEMAND AN EXPLANATION OF OBAMAS PAST AND HIS RECENT LIES!!!!!

IF THIS WAS SENATOR CLINTON PEOPLE WOULD BE ASKING!!!!!!!

LETS BE FAIR IF THERE IS NOTHING TO HIDE THEN NO WORRIES!!!!!!!

I don't think Hillary should be apologizing. White people wouldn't have such discolored opinions of coloreds if the behavior and attitude of so many of the colored wasn't so definitely slanted against the white people. They are given to creating riots, violence and looting like kids throwing tantrums when they don't get their way. Evidence of this was the sermon I caught online yesterday by a colored reverend railing against whites and Hillary by name. Is Obama going to apologize for him and his inflamatory remarks? I'll bet he won't even be asked by the fawning media. Yet, the reverend's remarks were worse, much worse than any I have heard from Hillary's side. The colored people are making their own beds then hollering and complaining when the bed is lumpy. Let's get real and honest about what is REALLY going on. OBAMA fueled and caused this upset and is keeping it flamed up.

i dont see why they have to do it over both names were on the ticket when they voted clinton won . Both candiates have not campagned in other states . these ppl have voted r we going to take that right away.

I am very happy that they have found solutions to the voting problem. I think a primary re-vote would be good for everyone involved.

Hillary must be careful what she wishes for, but I am happy for the Democrats of Florida, who should repudiate their legislators who got them into this mess. The DNC, actually, is being far to leniant.

Yes, Florida (and Michigan) delegates need to be seated at the Convention. Yes – they should fully participate. Yes – they should be invigorated to support the Party's nominee through the General Election. But, there is no "fair" redue, as CIRCUMSTANCES HAVE NOW CHANGED THAT WOULD NOW REWARD the exact behavior (at significant financial cost and spent general goodwill) that the DNC was trying to curb. Florida wanted to be the King-maker – this would do it. They should not be rewarded.

Really, UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES, the only "fair" thing to do is to seat delegates so they can participate, but evenly between the candidates, because the state's party officials forefieted their people's right to have the final say.

As such, of the remaining delegates in play, the delegate count to reach nomination if FL and MI were evenly split would be 1793 (or there abouts). THIS FURTHER DEMONSTRATES HOW FAR OBAMA IS AND WHAT A WASTE OF RESOURCES THESE "DO-OVER" VOTES WOULD COST THE PARTY.

For the first time I felt she conducted herself like a president. The key to being a leader is to know when you're wrong and apologize.

Good for her.

And still CNN can't help Including the fact about Clinton's permitted fund raisers, but not including the fact that Obama had a national commercial running at the time that voters in Florida would have seen. Why does one count and not the other?

Florida should let the previous primary results stand, after all both Clinton and Obama were on the ballot and the results were that Clinton won. As everyone in America knows, this does not suit Obama because he wants to forget Florida and Michigan, What would he say if he was trailing the delegate count.

Whatever a re-do costs, it should be recovered from the DNC which caused the problem.

THERE WAS A FAIR ELECTION!!!!!!!!!

WHY SPEND MORE MONEY?

OBAMA HAD HIS ADS ON TV HERE FOR A WEEK SO WHY IS HE COMPLAINING?

SENATOR CLINTON DID NOT CAMPAIGN HERE AND SHE WON!!!!!!!!!!

GIVE HER THE DELEGATES AND STOP STALLING!!!!!!!

OBAMA NEEDS TO ANSWER THE LATEST ROUND OF ALLEGATIONS AGAINST HIM CONCERNING HIS PASTOR!!!!!!!!!

THIS WHOLE THING IS STUPID AND JUVENILE!!!!!!!!

THE STATE OF FLORIDA IS A LAUGHING STOCK!!!!!!!!!!

I STAND FIRMLY BEHIND SENATOR CLINTON!!!!!!!!!!!

WHO IS BEING DISCRIMINATED AGAINST!!!!!!!!!

GO HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2009!!!!!!!!!!!

they could have saved a lot of time and money by just dividing the delegates!!
the two states were disenfranchised because of the irresponsible choices of their govenors and then the two came out(Note they are both for Hillary ,especially Crist because the republicans want Hillary to be McBushs opponent in the fall) to whine and complain!
Now more time and money to be spent because they took it upon themselves to move up the primaries!!! poor governing in my opinion!
People will say Oh Hillary won but keep in mind MANY did not NOT vote because they knew their vote would not count!!!

Um, CNN, Obama also had national ads that were played many times a couple of weeks before the election.

The state was stripped of its delegates for changing the date of its primary. The should be a non-issue.

The Florida Democratic Party knew ahead of the primary that its delegates would not be counted because it violated party rules by scheduling the vote too early.

Allow the delegates to decide the next President of the United States of America.

We do not have to create a problem, where there isn't one!

Niki

This is just a waste of time and money!! Count the Votes you already have so this thing doesn't drag on!!! I am sick of this!!

Now that Hillary has apologized let's have it from the other side. The news media can only slam her on everything that is said or done. This is supposed to be a free country but our news media sure doesn't understand that. When are they going to start asking the real questions? Just what is Obama's resume? Just what qualifications does he have to become president? What was the connection between him and the guy that is on trial in Chicago? How come we haven't heard anything about this? Are they afraid they may say something that might offend Obama? Get the questions right and try to do some fair reporting folks. Wake up America and see what is happening in this election before it is too late.

I'm glad to see they are still working out a plan. We have to count both states not just Floriday but Michigan too. Its a shame so many people are saying since they broke the rules the peoples votes shouldn't count. How awful for other americans to say their votes shouldn't count. Hold the Politicians later when their election time comes but do not punish the people. This is to historic of a election to not count anyone who wants to be counted.

Interesting how the article fails to mention that Obama spent a considerable amount of money in television advertising in Florida.

So now Obama is in favor of a mail in? In his interview Tuesday he didn't sound so sure that it was a good idea. He stated that there would be security and eligibility concerns. Even when he endorsed legeslation establishing a vote by mail grant. This is the same piece of legislation that explains all of the benefits of voting by mail.

I'm sure the urge to find a solution to the problem of delegates from Florida and Michigan is quite compelling. However, if one considers all of the circumstances involved with this issue, there is no way to reverse the situation. Both Florida and Michigan were warned about changing their primary dates and both were warned of the consequences. Candidates agreed to not campaign in those states and as a result of following the Democratic Party rules, some were not even on the ballot(s).

A new vote or re-vote is wrong. It is a "do-over" and votes such as this should not be re-done because we dislike the consequences. It sets a bad precedent for the Democratic Party and a bad precedent for future elections. Unfortunately, the real solution is the one already in place: the delegates from each of those states should not be seated.

Do we need to remind decision makers that another mistake cannot correct the first one? Instead of mailing ballot for Florida, simply, let DNC bend its rules and reduce “needed to win number 2025" proportionately to say 1800 to select the winner. This may be a simplest, most acceptable and fairest solution (like overtime in ball games),respecting the Florida voters and two excellent candidates and effectively avoiding costs, and chaos restoring some dignity for all democrats and the process.

Why dont they just have a caucus so another state can be skewed to Obama.

They still do not address the issues brought forth regards, students, people on summer vacation etc.

This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard.

To go from being penalized to being rewarded is not fair to the rest of the nation!

I want ot re-vote as well.

Here come the lawsuits, big time!

The Dem party has disinfranchised the entire country not just Florida and Michigan.

Pre-schoolers acting like a bunch pre-schoolers. Lets get this over with and move on. The Dems need to get there act together before we end up splitting the party in half. They are well on their way!

Wow...this reaks of mismanagement and fraud. Hanging chads will not compare to the problems this will cause!!!

Let the AFL-CIO pay for it. They have plenty of union money to play politics with...

I just dont understand why the rules are being changed. Why didnt the Florida voters protest long ago when this first came up. They were told that if they changed their date they would not be seated and their votes would be worthless. This country is built on rules what are we teaching our children when we adapt everything in the middle because we dont like the consequnces. I hate the idea of anyones vote not counting but RULES ARE RULES. If we dont follow them here why would we follow them anywhere. By the way I am an undecided voter. But this entire debate makes me consider McCain since he understands that actions have consequences and my party is having trouble with that. STOP ALL THE MUDSLINGING. FOLLOW THE RULES.

Millions were spent on a primary that clearly DID NOT COUNT. Those votes do not count and an extra $12 million should not be wasted for the mess up of the Florida Democratic Party.

NO REDOs, you had your chance to follow the rules!!!!

You forgot to add that Obama ran ads. I personally don't believe his lame explanation that it was a mistake, and part of a regional ad blitz.

I'm sorry, I don't think people from FL should have to re-vote. All names were on the ballot, and no campigning was done. Although, I've heard from family Obama did have TV ads. Even if they were "spillover" ads, it was against the rules.

I don't think that a mail in vote would be fair because I don't think all votes will be counted. Why is there always a mess with Florida?

Didn't , Obama run an add on CNN that was aired in Florida ?

Why has CNN not reported that Clinton won 7 out 10 outstanding Colorado delegates and 1 outstanding NY delegate? It's a sad day when Fox news is more unbiased. Fox also reported the Mississippi Primary delegates as 19-14 for Obama. So Clinton essentially erased any delegate gains Obama made in Miss.
Fox news also reported that Obama minister Wright is being investigated by the IRS for making political statements from the pulpit.
So it appears that Fox is fair and blanced unlike CNN and MSNBC. Let's see if this even gets by the moderator.

Senator Clinton says she does poorly in caucus states, but carries all the big states, then she shouldn't be opposed to have caucuses as a way of seating the Florida and Michigan delegates. It may seem that a caucus is not in her favor, but if she truly feels that she can carry any big state, then why worry... her supporters would still come out, right ?

I am glad they are considering a revote. The voters in FL did nothing wrong. Why punish them? When people talk about "rules" they also need to talk about punishing the people who break the rules (rather than everyone). Why not take superdelegate status away from FL and MI Democratic Party Leaders. That would hurt the candidate I support, but it would punish the people who actually broke the rules.

Hillary 08
