You can be frustrated all you want. It's not going to happen.
Split them 50/50, easiest option.
Puerto Rico is going to decide who the Democratic nominee is going to be.

Obama has no clue what Judgement means…He has to ask Rev. Wright for Sprirtual Guidance..

He cannot handle the big leagues..He is in deep trouble..

You have no chance in 08

Hillary or McCain 08

Of course Obama doesnt want a re-vote. He sickens me.

There should NOT be a re-vote. They broke the rules. Live with it !

He is afraid of a re-vote and with his mounting problems he should be. He just needs to go on and allow all of those people a say in the election process or he will only do more damage to himself.

Well, Michigan, if you are frustrated with the system your legislators put in place to cause this fiasco you should be aware that the rest of the states are pretty frustrated with you as well. Try playing by the rules next time rather than trying to change them after you violate them.

NO BAMA '08

Remind me again how any of this is Barack's fault.

As a British fascinated observer of this mighty democratic battle I must admit to being absolutely baffled by the support Hillary Clinton appears to be able to muster. Her great experience seems very shallow in reality and her ascertation that she was instrumental in the Northern Ireland peace process has produced nothing but huge amounts of laughter over here! With Barack Obama it appears America has discovered a once in a generation politician yet vast swathes of democrats still seemed tied to a woman who merely stood by a philandering husband. Are there any truly inspirational Hillary speeches out there that we are missing over here? I'd also say that in a country of some 200 million it would seem very strange that you couldnt find two presidents of the same political pursuasion who were not directly related to one another over the couse of potentially 28 years! Kind of makes a mockery of the cries of anguish levelled against tinpot dictators who install members of their families to replace them!

I have contacted many Democratic Law Makers this week. We should not have an "Un-Informed" Re-Do in this depressed state. Most of them agree. The whole illogical point of moving the primary up was to have a larger voice. Well, now the voters have a really loud voice. Those who are up for re-election need to protect voters rights, not only by counting thier votes, but by being sure that each candidate is bring full disclosure to the campaign.

Fair and full disclosure before another primary is what I believe would be right and lawful.

Obama should just drop out now. he messed up BIG TIME with just sitting back and listing for 20 years to the hate preached at his church. he should have tried to talk to him about it and not just let it go!

Another pro-Clinton smear job from the hacks at CNN. How about a truthful headline next time?

This is testimony to ALL of you who CHEAT, LIE and IGNORE RULES and LAWS.

This is a simple case of Rules are Rules and you whiners can't face the fact. Your Whiner in Chief ( Hillary) is setting a GREAT example of leadership.

How pitiful can you get? It is scarey though, a chunk of our nation has proven that it has NO Morals , NO ethics and NO Honor. The end of this great nation is very near if this keeps up.

Obama dont want Hillary to beat him again in Mich. and Fla. If he cant have it his way with cacusses which everyone cant vote ,he dosnt want them heard.Primary is the real way to vote.You dont have someone trying to change your mind to which canadate to vote.HRC is trying to get Mich. to revote again. Obama is a sore looser.We dont need that kind of a canadate elected for our countrie's leader.He is a slick operator and would make a better Preacher than a Leader for our country. America wake up. concerned Vet

Obama is failing the Michigan voters in the worst way.If he does not believe in Democracy, why is he running for president?What confidence or lack of, must he have in himself if he is afraid to face the voters of Michigan.
It begs the question,do we want a president that does not believe in the American people to have the right to vote.

Mounting frustration with CNN as times goes on.

If I want biased, spun news, I'll go to Fox. CNN used to be pretty unbiased, but in the last couple of months has decided to fully endorse Lady Hillary, while blasting Obama at every opportunity. Is CNN on the Clinton payroll?

Here's and Idea. GET OVER IT!!

The longer this continues the more drama is being fostered in the dem party. It's and all out civil war right now.

One thing we know, BHO can't take a punch. He would rather run and hide than step in the ring with Hillary. Do we want a President that is a fighter, or one that is a hider? You make the call.

Obama's the one who talks about reaching across the table
yet he refuses to meet up with Hillary to talk about a fair re-vote

SHAME…SHAME …SHAME on you Barrack Obama !(his words doesnt match his actions)

HILLARY 08′

With all his wins, why is he so afraid to have a revote in Michigan and Florida? I for one think every citizen's vote should count.

OBAMA WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF. LET THE PEOPLE VOTE

get mad at your State Gov, their the one's who decieved you!!

Interesting. Where was this top Michigan Democrat when they decided to accept these primary rules? Give me a break! Rules are rules. They were broken so now you must pay the consequences. How is it that we expect 5 yr. olds to follow this but not adults?

Of course it is Obama's fault. I mean, It is clearly the job of a campaign to define the terms of an election. This guy says that the Obama campaign is blocking the legislation…but how? Can someone explain this to me?

I suspect Michigan's revote will meet with the same fate as Florida's.

Did Michigan and it's politicians not know the rules? Did someone trick them and not tell them that if they held their elections early they wouldn't be counted? If not then stop whining that you want a re-vote! That's like calling a time out in the 3rd quarter because you want to re-do the opening shot because you didn't like the height of your jump. You agreed to it, you signed off on the punishment and now you and your citizens have to live with it so GROW UP!

this is nonesense. In fact the Clintons should be punish for not keeping to the rules of the game they signed into. They knew the rules. It is not about Obama. It is about those trying to change the rules in the middle of a contest as Dean the Chairman of DNC rightly said. Don't push the game to Obama.

do you think SOMEONE could do an article on WHY the DNC allowed other states to move up their primary, but when Florida and Michigan did it they were counted out? I have looked all over to find the reason why. I am a Florida Voter and I would like to have at least the why. I know why they did not count my vote in 2000. The lease they could do is explain it to us this time. You would think that there would be some consideration for why that change was voted for to being with. This was an extra on a bill to require a paper trail in Florida. (Never mind they did not out law the butterfly ballot)

Obama doesn't want a revote because he knows he will lose - so how is this any different than Clinton wanting a revote? THey both play to their advantage - only in this case it's our constitutional right to have our votes count.

'Thou shalt not commit adultry" This is one of the highest laws in life!

Hillary STAYED with Bill after Bill's multiple infedilities. May be we should DUMP Hillary for sticking with a sinner, her husband!!

Well for those who want Obama to go back to his pastor, who would be the greater sinner here: Hillary who stays with …….after all his…..; OR Obama who stays with …after a …..? Becuse you like to JUDGE, you go ahead and throw the first stone with a clean conscience!!!!

THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN IS SUPPRESSING VOTES. THAT'S UN-AMERICAN.

Obama cares about all voters in this country EXCEPT those in Fl and MI.
If I were in those states and he refused to value my vote, I sure wouldn't vote for him in November. Plain and simple.

How is it Obama's fault that the re-vote plan isn't getting enough support in the Michigan legislature?

Let me tell you that there is no way Debbie Dingell is "unaligned". As a Michigan Dem who had a visit from her when Hillary was trying to manipulate whether there would be a primary in January (versus a caucus), I can tell you she is a Hillaryite.

At least her husband has the guts to say so rather than playing at something he's not.

He will do his best for those votes not to count. Specially now that he's rather slowed down. Big chance that he would lose Michigan too. So why take the risk?

Come up with a plan Barack. Enough of the speeches. If you deny Michigan in Florida and somehow get nominated - there will be an asterisk next to your name forever. And you will definitely suffer in November.

Barak used the RACE CARD instead of addressing the REAL ISSUE of BAD JUDGEMENT. He attended that church for 20 years - brought is young children to hear a RACIST, ANTI-AMERICAN bash the "rich white folks" running this country!

Barak "Bad Judgement" Obama will not get my vote in the general election! This conservative Democrat will VOTE REPUBLICAN!

This is such a non-issue. If the voters of Michigan truly want satisfaction they should write their governor and ask why the state decided to ignore DNC rules.

Hmmm… perhaps Obama realizes that enabling a re-vote, while fair to the unjustly punished voters, frees the guilty party officials who violated clear-cut party rules? These leaders CANNOT be allowed to get away with their violation with a mere slap on the hand.

Still, it would be nice if Obama would say something concrete about his position here.

Obama has stated that he will do whatever the DNC asks. Not what Clinton wants or Michigan or Florida for that matter.

Why should they get rewarded for breaking the rules? You didn't see Clinton fighting for these 2 states before there early primaries to seat the delegates! Now that she's losing, they must be seated? I call BS.

Why are the voters willing to put a Republican in office because of THEIR politician’s decision to move up the primary date? The citizens of these two states should be mad at their politicians not the candidates.

Florida/ Michigan: Please re-direct your anger….

How funny! Why should Obama agree to new rules of a revote? Clinton is not honoring the first rules that said "there will be no delegates awarded to the winner". Rules are rules,,, I have a 9 year old and a 14 year old, I always ask them to follow the rules. What message are you sending our children by breaking rules agreed on by both sides? To bad for Clintonians, just too bad. Better luck in 20016. Hillary will only be 70 years old. She still got a chance, McCain is 71,, think positive.

I keep seeing comments referencing “rules” ticker articles. Just what are the rules?
I would suggest that all truley concerned voters do what I did - find out.

Go to the DNC and download the rules. Very interesting reading, and be sure to check out the quote from DNC chair Howard Dean which is in a graphic caption.

I guess he forgot to say “except Florida and Michigan voters” when he made that statement.

He's on the ropes

Obama doesn't care about the voters. He is for caucus' so that only a few of the many get to make the decisions. He is looking for problems to keep the vote from happening. Another under handed stratagy. He should be a Reublican.

HILLARY JUST WANTS TO CHEAT AT ALL COST !!

Of course, blame it on Obama. I mean its not like he is busy trying to stop people from smearing his name left and right, nor is he trying to fend of attack from BOTH Hillary and McCain, nor is he running a presidential campaign, he has all the time in the world to sit down and figure out something like that. If Hillary is so desperate to count the votes, why doesn't she propose a plan instead of attack Obama every chance she gets?

Obama is just following the rules that were established before the primary season. You don't enter a race and then go 3/4 of the way through it and then say "OH OOPS, i forgot to say that you have to change your shoes and you have to wear a different type of shorts while you are racing." people should FOLLOW THE RULES that were established by the DNC. If you don't like it, then don't be in the DNC..its pretty simple.

Hang in there Obama….if we are going to changrethe rules make it fair for everyone. They knew that they were not going to be seated from the start. WHERE WAS THEY'RE ILLISTRIOUS DEMOCRATIC GOVENOR …and Hillary Supporter…….WHEN ALL OF THIS WAS INITIALLY GOING DOWN ????

The Ultimate Power, is all he is interested in.

Sounds like OLD POLITICS to me…

The only change he represents is the split of the democratic party

NOOBAMA go away you do more harm than good

As a Democrat who as voted throughout my life (5 this could be the first time I will NOT vote if Hillary Clinton is the nominee. Obama is an authentic, courageous, honest man with wise, thoughtful judgement. Hillary Clinton is an old habit. Obama represents genuine change for a more enlightened world view. Sadly this country may very well choose to remain in the political gutter, with Hillary or McCain.

Why is this an Obama problem? This is a DNC problem-they made the rules, the candidates agreed to abide by the rules, Florida and Michigan broke the rules. End of story.
Democrats in Michigan and Florida should blame their party chiefs in those states–What were they thinking?

If Obama doesn't agree to new primary elections or to seat the delegates from the January elections, it will in part justify a Clinton win from superdelegates. These are huge states– and they are swing states. Their votes will be crucial in November.

Furthermore, it's not the fault of the voters in either state that party officials moved the primaries up. Bad decisions at the top should not disenfranchise ordinary citizens who exercise their democratic rights through the only process available to them.

This Demo Primary is totally wrong if FL & MI are not counted. This is not democry. This appear kids' game play.

silence the vote , obama-mania is a hate filled excuse of a campaign.

he will be over for sure if he's the nominee.

i voted for him on feb.5th but now the media has done there job and brought scrutiny, and my eyes have taken a second look at this man.

and i want my vote back. and by god in November i will take it back if he wins the nomination.

i apologize to America for being so naive

fountin farm, missouri

Suck it up Michigan. It's your own fault.

I'm wondering why it's for Obama to consent to a plan or propose one. He's the ONLY one who has adhered to the rules agreed to by all from the beginning.

This isn't Obama's problem. Anyone who tries to present it as being his fault is disingenuous.

OBAMA IS A LIAR, I AM A HILARY SUPPORT AND I WILL VOTE FOR MCCAIN OVER OBAMA, ATLEAST WITH MCCAIN I KNOW WHAT I WILL BE GETTING.. OBAMA STARTING TO LOOK MORE LIKE THE ANTI CHRIST!!!!

Stop removing comments that are negative about Obama CNN. We are posting and copying your refusal to allow freedom of speech on here. We have not spoken hatreful things. The truth is America is not responsible for race issues. Obama and his pastor are justifying hatred and talk against America. That is why he is finished.

How funny! Why should Obama agree to new rules of a revote? Clinton is not honoring the first rules that said "there will be no delegates awarded to the winner". Rules are rules,,, I have a 9 year old and a 14 year old, I always ask them to follow the rules. What message are you sending our children by breaking rules agreed on by both sides? To bad for Clintonians, just too bad. Better luck in 2016. Hillary will only be 70 years old. She still got a chance, McCain is 71,, think positive.

Michigan knew the rules and the consequences of breaking them. The burden should not be on Barack Obama, nor should the finger pointing. Each state submits a Delegate Selection Plan for approval. Michigan went ahead with a plan that was not approved. They defiantly and with full knowledge broke the rules! We don't change rules in the middle of a ballgame! Why should this be any different.
Perhaps, next time, Michigan will be less arrogant.

As to Hillary Clinton, claiming a win with only her name on the ballot makes me think she is perhaps thinking this is an election in another kind of country!

You see he is just afraid that the tides are turning. He dosnt want a re-do because he knows he will lose badly. Is he really demonstrating the politics of tomorrow?

The frustration should be with the DNC and not with Obama who played by the rules and wasn't even on the ballot. Changing the rules now because Hillary is concerned she's losing is changing the rules in the middle of the game. The DNC shouldn't have created this punishment then act as though it's any campaign's fault. Howard Dean needs to exercise some backbone. Both Hillary and Obama agreed not to campaign in that state and that should be that.Michigan has severe financial problems and need to worry about the economy. Superdelegates will decide this race so people just need to get over this and vote in the general election.

All the candidates and governor of each state missed the boat on FL and Mich….Now Clinton is concerned about disenfranching MI and FL. She should have brought this issue up long ago and so should the politician in these state….how dare they try and pin this on Obama. Seat the delegates and split 50/50

The truth is not being reported properly. Why should we vote for a man whose pastor traveled to Libia with known terrorist Mammar al-Gaddafi? Who came back and continued the same hateful message against America that Louis Farrakhan who went with him preaches?
Why should we allow this and have Obama attempt to justify it by calling a race misunderstanding! It is not a misunderstanding at all. It is our right to know and our right to decide and we do not want Obama to be President or anything else. This is his error, not ours. He is finished and should be.

OK Hillary, It's time to put up or shut up. Did you change your position on these elections more than 1 time? Did you vote for the war before you were against it? How about your ever changing Nafta positions? etc, ad infinitum. Hillary and Hillary's shrill supporters are the worst America has to offer, because as usual, they will march in lockstep with whatever is convenient for them, not because of what is right. Grow a backbone Shills. Do anything, say anything politics has to be ended, or America will be damaged irreparably for the foreseeable future. Think outside of your own narrow self interested politics. I know Hillary won't be able to, but the American people and democratic voters must..

If you are going to report this story please include the details of why a re-vote would not be fair to the voters in Michigan who believed their vote would not count. This is the legislators in the state of Michigan's fault and they should be held accountable and stop placing the blame on the Obama campaign as Hillary is falsly claiming. The news media loves to stir the pot and they really step over the line at times with inflammatory stories like this one.

Senator Obama, it appears your silence on the Michigan re-vote is a preview of things to come; you playing hide and seek now? Why don't you fess up and make the decision and allow Michigan to have their re-vote. It is only fair since you yourself took your name off the ballot. No one forced you to do that.

Stand up and take the results like the man you say you are. If Michigan has the re-vote and the results end up like the original primary, or even if they are different, it is only fair that you allow this to transpire. Your silence speaks volumes!! I believe you are afraid that you will lose and not have the statement to make that "I am in first place". Get off your high pedestal and do the right thing. Let Michigan speak!!!

This is a confusing and somewhat misleading story. It says that one Democrat says that the Obama campaign is stopping progress on the primary, but later states that another legislator says that the legislators cannot agree as to a solution and have asked the DNC to step in. It sounds to me like the legislators have not come to an agreement. If they haven't, maybe the DNC does need to step in as suggested. This is spin.. Hillary Clinton goes to Michigan and blames the Obama campaign for not seating the delegates, because he was DNC set the rules and although they both agreed that MI and FL would not count, words matter. If the state legislators can't come to an agreement, that is not the Obama campaign's fault.

There is a lot of difference between reporting that Obama's name was not in the Michigan ballot and the fact that " he got his name removed".

For the records " HE got his name REMOVED"

Michigan and Florida count as much as Utah and Minnesotta ( Why did I choose them - I dont know - I dont even live there).

For everybody to know " The United States of America is made up of 5o states and a federal district " . At least it was so the last time I checked yesterday.

Count these 2 states and lets not stain our democracy..

About Sen. Obama.. I dont know what was the sudden revelation about the Constitution and Sin of slavery theory is about…

During all this election campaign, I briefly swayed towards voting Sen. Omaba.

Things are clearer now . My choice is Hillary.. and thanks God I did not already vote ..

To me things are very clear now..

Hillary Clinton = {experience + [economic growth - Troops from Iraq] + Healthcare reforms + [Employment opportunities - huge tax breaks for the riches] } x 2 terms. = Wonderful America we know…

I don't know why everyone is turning to blame Obama. Did he create the current mess? No. Did the voters in Michigan do anything to prevent this from happening in the first place? No. Did the governors? No. Did the DNC? No. Did Hillary? No.

Yet all the fingers are pointing at Obama. Seems to me like there a few hundred thousand people out there (who had a lot of leverage in making this thing what it currently is) that don't want to take much responsibility. Looking for a scapegoat? YES.

Read Barack's memo. It doesn't make any sense to have another primary that disenfranchises the voter's in the previous primary that didn't count. How is that fair? You're not concerned about those voters, huh, Hillary?

OBAMA 08

Sen. Clinton is, once again, playing the victim and trying to portray Sen. Obama as the villan. What she, and the mainstream media , isn't mentioning that her proposed plan breaks several laws and violates other Voting Rights rules:

) Michigan has an open primary.
2) The re-vote plan being proposed by the Clinton campaign would not allow participation by voters who voted in the Republican primary in January.
3) Because everyone *knew* that the Democratic primary didn't count (HRC even said this herself back then), an unknown number of democrats and independents voted in the Republican contest.
4) Since they had no way to know the rules might be changed in the middle of the game, these voters would now be disenfranchised.
5) The county clerks, who are tasked with actually executing an election, have stated that there is not sufficient time to ensure anything like a proper election process in Michigan.
6) Because of the disenfranchisement issues, legal challenges are likely to tie up the results until after the convention.
7) The proposed funding for the election may violate federal campaign finance regulations.

I agree that the DNC needs to step in here. Michigan voters are not getting all the facts.

YA, JUST MAYBE, this is happening because the MICHIGAN state legislature DROPPED THE BALL!!! It is NOT Barack Obama's responsibility to clean up YOUR mess…YOU made a serious mistake in forcing the early vote and now YOU have to pay for it…the ideas you have proposed are NOT good ones and he is posing no alternatives because there is NO WAY to have a fair re-vote. THIS IS NOT HIS FAULT. DEMOCRATS IN MICHIGAN should have considered this when they decided to break the rules. AT MOST, either split the delegates evenly between both candidates (which in itself should NOT be allowed because we should not in any way, enable your disingenuous attempt at circumventing the rules) or YOU SHOULD NOT BE SEATED at the convention…

MICHIGAN DEMOCRATS, ITS TIME SOMEONE LECTURED YOU ON PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY! STOP WHINING!!!

CNN please post this

Barack did not create this mess, so why is HRC and the MI DNC officials trying to pretend he is holding up progress in Michigan. Evidently, they are Clinton supporters. Remember, Barack abided by the initial DNC rules regarding FL and MI. As this campaign moves forward, I have become suspsicious of the motives of EVERYONE, including CNN. For over 40 years, I have always viewed CNN as a professional, non-biased broadcast, but I am beginning to see some biases surfacing in some of the reporting at CNN, too. Several months ago, I would have voted for Senator Clinton just as I did for her husband, twice. Not anymore….

Good for Obama as a supporter of him his is standing by the rules,rules in which a Democrat started don't be mad at Obama be mad at the Florida and Michigan Democrats that started the whole idea years ago sorry bout them rules are not ment to be broke or changed. We as Americans our whole lives are told rules are rules if you break them you pay for your actions, so don't take it out on a man for standing up for rules and government. Is that not what we want is a politician that stands by rules and Constitutional obligations. Boo Who cry for me the only reason the 2 states are complaining is Hillary she didn't need or want your vote till she sees she can't win without it, she really is showing you respect be only needing you when it counts and people are slamming Obama for not wanting to change rules we all have to follow since our childhoods.Time to rethink Hillary's real reason for the re votes only cause she needs you and she is crying cause poor Hillary can't win without you now.Go back to Arkansas With Bill.

This has become such a childish joke. Hey, break the rules and you know the consequences, unless of course a Clinton later disagrees.

It is difficult to put your trust in any politician even when they don't give you an obvious reason to distrust them. Obama tugged at the heart and soul of the American people with a hope for change…he has been exposed.

DNC should re-consider the Jan. vote, in the first place. If Sen. Obama would not consider re-vote, it means he didn'n need the votes of the two states in order to win in Nov. election. He removed his name from the ballot (does it mean that he deprived the Michigan's voters of their right to vote for him?). He is running his campaign based on his judgement: therefore his overall judgement is indemocratic, denying the right of suffrage of the two States.

#1 Fact

The DNC clearly stated that these two states would be penalized if they moved up their primary dates (i.e. the results would not count).

#2 Fact

All 3 major candidates (BO, HC, JE) signed off on a pledge that they would not accept the results of the primary in FL or MI if the states moved up their dates.

#3 Fact

BO AND JE decided to take their names off the ballot in MI as they did not agree with the state moving their dates up.

What am I missing?

Anybody who has half a brain would see that the main reason that HC is lobbying for a re-vote in both states is that it is her only way to get back in the race. Period, end of story.

Also, to go back and permit a "do over" would send a poor message to all of the other states tha played by the rules. No state is any more or any less important.

I think it has already been clearly said why Obama doesn't like the plan. It prevents those who voted in the republican primary from voting again. They want anyone to be able vote in a redo. It is sad that Michigan's state officials have disenfranchised their own voters and are now trying to blame the candidates for their mistakes. As reported by CNN earlier, Obama wants those who might have voted in the Republican primaries to be able to vote in the redo. I'm sure some democrats and independents crossed over because the democratic primary was not supposed to matter.

I fail to understand the problem. Michigan and Florida knew that they were breaking convention and previous agreements by holding primaries early. They knew they would "lose" their delegates. The DNC informed both states what would happen prior to their primaries. Where was the concern of state leaders about "having a voice" back then?

Face it… At this point, there is no fair way to administer the delegates from those two states. And even if there was, why should those states be rewarded with such a critical voice at such a critical time of the campaign? That's simply rewarding the arrogance and brinkmanship tactics enlisted by the leaders of those states who put their voters into this predicament in the first place. Rules are rules, and Michigan and Florida broke them.

I don't have a favorite candidate in this fight, but I'm guessing that Hillary is shaking every tree she can in those states to achieve amnesty in the hopes of repeating her previous wins. The job of the DNC at this point is to hold its ground, and not make a bad situation worse. Howard Dean and the DNC shold think long and hard about how history will view the DNC and the fairness of this election if it gives in to the pressures of the Clinton campaign and the arrogant leaders of these states.

Not even 24 hours after he gives "the best speech since MLK", he's whining about how shaken he is because he was reminded of how hard it is to get elected because he's black? Accusing others and playing the race card to deflect tough questions he doesn't want to answer is his hallmark. So is he not backing revotes in MI and FL because they're racist? What a joke!!

Listen, Obama does not care about the people of the United States and their worries and troubles. Obama cares about Obama. This is not about the Democratic Party doing this or doing that, this is about Obama's agenda, win, win, win, and win for himself only. He is another Bush, dumb, arrogant, and could care less what happens Michigan, Florida or any of the rest of the voters that voted for him already who probably could kick themselves in the butt for doing so after all they've learned about him since.

The Obama camp is more focused on rev. Wright. The truth about Tony Rezko and Nadhmi Auchi have not came out yet.

I believe that all parties knew and understood the rules from the beginning. Those rules were violated. Enforce the rules now.
It's a shame for the voting public, but the rules are the rules and they are there for a reason. Enforcement makes the rules credible. Without Enforcement, rules are meaningless.
Again I say, enforce the rules as written. NO REVOTE>

The frustration should not be with Obama but with Hillary Clinton for pushing for an unfair do-over that would exclude all of the democrats who voted on the Republican ticket so they could at least have a vote. They would all be excluded in a do-over. Please publish the agreement that Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama and John Edwards (and other candidates) signed when they agreed not to campaign in these States because their leaders broke the party rules. The candidates all agreed in writing that these votes could not be counted. If this state is allowed a do-over - why wouldn't all states jump the gun and hold their primaries any time they wanted. They can always vote again later, right?

great. Seat the delegates 50-50 and call it even. This has two effects, it gets hillary closer to striking distance of the magic number while simultaneously making the math more difficult for Obama to loose pledged delegates.

This is the most fair solution. You cannot hold a revote with all the bad Obama press thats been had as Hillary tactically huffed and puffed. Sorry Michigan, vote no next time your governor runs for re-election.

You know, in all FAIRNESS - - Senators Obama, Clinton and Edwards all EMBRACED the rules set forth by the DNC, particularly as it related to the troubled states of Michigan and Florida. The Democratic leadership of these states got hoodwinked by the republican leadership who appear to have been the orchestrators or initiators behind this who early primary issue……ultimately, it was the democratic state leadership who sold out their constituents and hopefully, you democrats will remember that when its time to vote again.

Further, all three candidates SAID they would abide by the ruling of the DNC knowing that it could cost them precious delegates in the hotly contested race. Now that at least one of your candidates is desparately in need and smells blood in the water after Obama's high tech lynching over a non-issue, suddenly the pressure is on Obama's campaign as if they're the ones holding things up. Certainly if the other democratic candidate wasn't so desperate and flip/floppy, this would not be an issue. And, what the DNC SHOULD have done is agree to seat half the delegates instead of stripping the states of all their delegates. But to somehow suggest that the problem is with Obama is irresponsible and continues to go to the heart of the cheapness, laziness and sometimes stupidity of the media and the American public who doesn't demand better.

American politics…….our democracy at work

Bottom line there should not be a re-vote. Things should remain as is. Florida and Michigan broke the rules and now they have to sit in the penalty box.

Words matter !

Let's revote Michigan, Let's go Hillary.
Obama's unelectable

For heaven's sake it is the fault of the legislator's who broke the rules in the first place.

When Hillary signed a commitment not to campaign in these states what exactly was she thinking? Where was her sanctimonious concern for protecting the rights of voters then?

Why would she have one of the architects of the decision - Ickes - on her staff if she felt this was such an injustice?

The plain truth is she thought she'd have it all sewn up by Super Tuesday and had no contingency plan for what to do if that didn't happen. Oh yeah, that's who you want running the country.

Why does this subject matter any more Hillary's schedule has proved her to be liar like her husband. She was part of a meeting to drum up support from women for NAFTA. Two attendees have made statements to reporters that she was all for NAFAT and helped push for it prior to congress approval.

Ohio you just got punked. Thank the Clinton's for your job loss and mustard and relish sandwiches.

Can't wait for more juicy lies and tax record season.

Obama becomes closer and closer to being a Republican every day. Someone needs to tell him that Democrats respect the constitutional right to have votes count, Republicans fight to keep people from voting.

Do we establish rules for a reason or not? The DNC made clear the rules of the primary, and the leadership in Michigan and Florida decided the rules didn't apply to them. So what are we saying — if you ignored the clearly stated rules, you should get an exception anyway? "The rules don't apply to us" — that's a fantastic message for this country's leaders to be disseminating.

Maybe Obama will throw one of his razzle-dazzle speeches at the Michigan voters to explain why he doesn't want them to take part in the nominating process. They will be soooo inspired they will forget they are being robbed of their voice.

If we do not have Florida and Michigan count in the primaries, then this is not a fair and representative choice by the people for whomever wins the nomination. I can understand Obama dragging his heals. He has nothing to lose and Clinton may have something to gain, if Michigan and Florida get ot revote. Something needs to be done asap, with or without the concent of Hillary or Obama to include Michigan and Florida. It is the voters that are the real losers if something is not done. And it should be evident to everyone, no matter who they are for, the people are sick and tired of the red tape, mismanagement and corruption of our current political system. I mean we have Bush in the White House now, because of corruption in the Florida vote then. The people are not going to take much more.

It appear that many of the cnn host (especially Wolf and Lou) go over board and even enjoy attacking Obama. Other than Roland Martin and few other analyst, many of your quest seem to side with you in the Barack attack. For your information Wolf, most african american agree with Pastor Wright in some ways. There is a very small miniority of blacks who think as you do. So stop saying that african americans are upset because we are not and most of us understand where Pastor Wright is coming from. This is just a smoke screen, the media has been searching for something to distract this campaign. The media is trying to turn white supporters from Obama, and also discourage black voters. Just want to let you know that it's not going to work.

Obama says that Michigan and Florida should have a vote, but what is he doing to help them? All he says is that he will listen to whatever the DNC says, well that is not enough. He is obviously against them voting. We are not dumb. Obama asked “Who do you trust?” Well, I trust Hillary, not Obama.

I am a MI voter who respects the rules as they were laid out. We all knew if we moved up our primary, the delegates would not count. Hundreds of thousands of us did not vote because we did not believe our vote would count. Some of us even crossed over to vote on the Republican side…..just, as some of them are now doing in voting for Hillary to make trouble for the DNC. According to the new plan, we could not vote in any new primary now. UNDEMOCRATIC for us….

Senator Obama, as always, respected and followed the rules. Hillary and Bill Clinton, who now desperately need more delegates to win and are trying to do that by (again) twisting and decieving, attempting to divide and tear apart the Democratic party for their OWN benefit to get back in for their third term in the White House.

Shameful Hillary, so very obviously twisting the rules to only serve your own needs at the expense of all of the rest of us Democrats.

Hillary, get out of MI….. Shame on you. Shame on your lies……

Who the hell is the DNC to attempt to control and determine an Election? The RNC used Florida for Bush Jr. and now the DNC will hand over the Dem chances due to their stupidity, egos, and Dean's arrogance in dealing with this situation. Either ACCEPT the Voter's decisions in MI AND FL or let these VOTERS vote again and Dean and the DNC can eat the cost just as they eat their way through the primaries and Convention. The PEOPLE NEED TO DETERMINE THE NEXT PRESIDENT, NOT THE DNC, RNC, ELECTORAL COLLEGE, DELEGATES, SUPER-DELEGATES….WHEN WILL AMERICA WAKE UP AND TAKE OVER IT'S OWN DESTINY AS THE FOUNDING FATHERS WANTED??????????

oh b/c it's not a caucus i wonder what race hunter is: tupac? who is the race baiter now. if this is left out and obama wins wm voters will unite against obama thank god!

OBAMA CHANNELS
MSNBC AND CNN ARE OBAMA CHANNELS. DON’T TRUST THEM

So much for hope and change Obama….

I think they should just give Obama the Uncommited votes and move on.

Well EVERYONE agrees it is a mess, and that a solution HAS to be found, yet it IS Obama that is always quiet and when pressed accuses Clinton of baiting him. I am so frustrated with him, People have asked over and over for those two to sit down and find a solution, and when Clinton offers a solution and asks for them to talk, even offered the money to pay for it, Obama and his supporters still find a way to try to make it look like SHE is the bad guy? She DID actually say she would accept the decision of the DNC when they said it wouldn't count, but she always said BUT, she felt it would better if they could find a way to get the delegates seated. I remember her even stating she would not take her name off the ballots because she did not feel that was fair to the VOTERS. It was the VOTERS she was thinking of, yet no one seems to want to acknowledge that part of it, no, because it is her and her haters are so ready and eager to find things to bash her over.

LOOK, Obama is in a mess, he is going to need all the help he can get now, he has people furious with him for lying. And of course it WILL benefit Clinton, but I think every primary will benefit Clinton at this point, and as she starts releasing all these things he is accusing her of being dishonest for not releasing, are now starting to come out, and he is going to just keep looking worse.

But the bottom line is those VOTERS are NOT the ones who asked for things that way and they SHOULD be allotted another vote or let theirs stand. PERIOD.

Now it's Obama's problem?
That's rich!
When he's President, he'll have a solution for Michigan, and the jabronis in office may not like it very much.
You broke it, you fix it!
If the DNC signs off on it, so will he.

That's what happens when you try to change the rules because you don't like the outcome. The politicians of MI & FL agreed to not seat their delegates if they moved their primaries up…. now they don't like the consequences? Try a little tough love - the constituents of these 2 states should FIRE their politicians for acting so stupidly.

And I don't think Obama's campaign is sitting by silently, they were the ones who originally followed the rules. Why should they be penalized for playing fair?

How naive of people to think that the Obama campaign is even remotely interested in settling the issue of Michigan and Florida when he is at an advantage right now. The fact is, it is not in his best interest.
Who cares about the voters in these states? Bottom line is, Obama is a politician and as Michelle Obama puts it, "politics is a contact sport."
And, Clinton knows that, but then again, she is not running on promises of change.

from what i've read of the obama camp's effort towards the revote, it seems more like they are just making sure there aren't legal ramifications before they jump into it.

meanwhile, hillary's crowd just seems to be ragging on the obama camp for taking their time - without mentioning the possibility that maybe the obama camp is just being thorough.

Remember 2000, and the legal uproar in florida? Obama seems to want to avoid that, regardless of who is in favor of it. Clinton seems to just want a mob to take to the streets.

what's up with that?

What ever has happened to the "American" vote and ALL votes should be counted? All people who has voted are all Americans and their voices should be heard!!!!

The DNC need to make a stands regrading the Michigan & Florida by not allowing these states to seat their delegates

Why in the world should Obama bail out Michigan so Hillary can have her delegates. Do you people think he is stupid? Rhetorical question because obviously you do.

MICHIGAN —broke the rules and must abide by the rules. No REVOTES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Disenfranchising millions of votes in both Michigan and Florida is just wrong and undemocratic. This will only hurt the democratic party in a long-run especially when it comes to the election in November. Obama, I thought your message is to bring people together. Looks like you are alienating millions in both Michigan and Florida if you do not step up and help those millions of voices heard.

Is this a surprise?

The Obama campaign (Axelrod) and Obama are trying to run out the clock.

This is fine with me. Obama is unelectable. He will lose the general election and then Hillary can retake the WH in 2012.

I am sorry but there is no reason why Michigan and Florida should be counted. The rules were laid out in the beginning and Michigan and Florida decided not to follow them.

So now because the race is a little bit tighter we should have do overs?

How about a do over of the super bowl as well? I mean as a New England fan i kinda feel jipped it was a close game and if its a close game we should adjust the rules that we both agreed on prior.

This makes no sense and Michigan is now going to try to make Obama look like he is not cooperating. When in the end it was entirely their decision the not follow the democratic primary's concerns.

I told you fools that Clinton leaving her name on the ballot in Michigan and praising the Florida voters would not work out well for Obama.

But this isnt simple Clinton pandering. She put the effort in to care. Took the abuse from the Obama people as 'playing games' .

Now when you look at the whole thing, Obama consistently looks like a guy who only would care if there were delegates at stake, or it favors him. He never has made any indication he cared about the voters in the slightest.

Rules are rules and why would he want to help her win. Clinton needs to sit down. I have friends who live in florida, and voted an they don't want their vote to count They knew what the rules were and some people are willing to follow them. It's on Howard Dean and the DNC!

Hillary, quit it.

No state can save you, and certainly not Michigan where you only got half the vote in an uncontested election.

WHOM EVER ,
I THINK THAT EVER STAE SHOULD OF VOTED AT THE SAME TIME PERSONALLY BUT OTHER THAN THAT I THINK THAT THE TWO STATES SHOULD COUNT .THEY ARE GOING TO TAKE IT AWAY BECAUSE THEY RAISED A PALIMINARY VOTE DAY. THATS SHUCH HOG WASH. THE GOV. NEEDS TO GET THERE HEAD OUT OF A CLOUD AND WORRY ABOUT MORE WORSE THINGS THAN A PLIMINARY VOTE LIKE STAVING CHILDREN AND PEOPLE IN POVERTY AND FOR GOD SAKES WHY NOT WORRY ABOUT THE 4000 MEN AND WOMEN THAT HAVE DIED OVER BUSHS STUPIDITY
SUZIE,WEST VIRGINA

Ummm… Michigan broke the rules. That should speak for itself. Just like Obama, I would give them the cold shoulder as well. Let her drown in her own waste. Clinton is an Idiot.

What a piece of work, this Obama. Either do a re-vote in Michigan and Florida or step down now Obama! You are a joke!

turn words into action obama ,,
we all want to be heard

michigan was punished for what they did, IF CLINTON WAS LEADING LIKE OBAMA IS NOW WE WOULD NOT BE HAVING THIS PROBLEM,its because its the clintons they can change anything to suit there needs, even the so called superdalegates if it was clinton leading they could have all voted for her so fast this could have been over by now, but those superdelegates are waiting for anything to give clinton the vote I will vote republican if they do that they even listen to bill clinton when he says wait they wait i am tired of the clintons politics

Barack Obama has consistently stated he will abide by the rules the DNC decide on. It shouldn't be up to the candidates to decide as each has either something nto lose or gain. I agree with Donna Brazil…DNC sets the ground rules and the two sit down and negotiate…

Study has revealed that TWO MILLION voters DID NOT vote as these elections were not to count…what about the candidatesand the voters who played by the rules??

No changing rules in the middle of the game!

Obama doesn't want a re-vote, specially one that would actually count. Because he already lost there once, and he knows it will count against him when he loses again.

"The Obama people are blocking it in the legislature"

Let me get this straight - Obama is above the system. Seems like he is pretty tight with the system to me.

And he want to be inclusive of all the people all the time holding hands, singing songs, etc.etc. Except for Michigan, Florida, certain ethics groups, certain religous groups ("state sponsored terrorism of Palestine"), etc. etc.

Why are cult members always the last to see?

HMMM….. NOW WHY DO WE WANT TO COUNT THE DELEGATE VOTE IN MICH AND FLORIDA WHEN WE ALL AGREED THAT WE WOULDNT COUNT THEM. IF WE DO A REVOTE CAN JOHN EDWARDS COME BACK SINCE HE WAS THERE IN THE BEGINNING. OR WOULD THAT MESS EVERYTHING UP…… JUST LIKE DOING A REVOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
STOP THE POLITICS. AND PLAY BY THE RULES,YOUR CAMPAIGN FIRST MADE. LOSERS WILL NEVER WIN…

instead of blaming obama why dont you blame the politicians who bumped your date up?
this is what you get for breaking teh rules. the only reason hillary cares is because she knows she won't win otherwise. some president she would make

Play Hillary ball- hardball- make her play by rules- cant change rules in the middle of a game.

I wouldnt vote for this guy for nothing.

He does not care about voters.

He won the little small republican states BEFORE we knew he was a liar and listened to anti white speech every sunday.

Since then voters have CHANGED - YEP THATS WHAT CHANGE HE IS GOING TO BRING - people have smartened up and WONT VOTE FOR HIM - INCLUDING ME.

He is chicken to be on the ballot now and voters in MI and FLA should be outraged.

Get over it Michigan you and HILLARY broke the rules deal with it the rest of AMERICA will not let you and MISSY steal this nomination you will have to take out of our cold dead hand!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And if you think it won't get ugly in DENVER we will make 1968 look like a episode on BARNEY!!!!!!!!!!

OBAMA 08

Obama and Obama supporters firmly believe that Obama has the popular vote and the lead in the delegate vote. Obama's supporters have been claiming the nomination for over a month now. Why then, are they so unwilling to count the vote of 2.5 million people?

If he is confident that he will be the presidential nominee and the next president of the United States, why is he unwilling to allow a re-vote?

He said he was a different kind of politician. He said he'd change the way things are done. If this is his example of "change" then I'm not sure how he is any different than the Bush Administration.

Michigan knew the rules and broke them. When did it become okay to reward those who do wrong?

Nice to see that Hillary is such a partisan. I don't see how opposing the ruling of the DNC last summer and encouraging Michigan and Florida to protest the consequences of their willful and reckless ambitions helps anyone but her.

In fairness to the Democrats in Michigan ELECT NEW REPS!!! They got you INTO that mess, they CAN'T get you out of it. Where were your protests last summer when it would've mattered???? Clinton signed on to the agreement then and didn't make any of these high-minded speeches when it was going down — one of her campaign architects VOTED TO STRIP THEM OF THEIR DELEGATES. You are being manipulated!!!

I fail to see what this is Sen. Obama's fault?

If Obama wins the nomination.
Michigan and Florida will go to the republicans in the general election.
Plus the big states that went to Hillary, Obama will have trouble winning

Obama is destroying the Democratic Party and disenfranchising voters of Michigan. Obama doesn't believe votes of people in Michigan should be counted nor acknowledged. Obama was in the ballot but he WITHDREW his NAME, his OWN CHOICE!

This anti-American Senator from Illinois do NOT deserve a single vote from ANY American who love this country.

This is amazing. Now, Billary don't have to abide by the rules. I wonder how much noise she would be making if she hadn't of won and uncommitted would have gotten more…amazing.

Obama only cares about the things that are convenient for him only for his own political gain. He doesn't care about anybody else not even his grandmother, you see how he threw her under the bus, for his own political gain he is not a leader but a misleader.

I can't believe that this is even up for discussion. Florida and Michigan both knew the effect of thier decision. If anyone should be criticisized for lack of backing up anything it should be those who made the decision for the two states to change thier dates. You made your choice and knew the consequence..period

and how come the media found it unnecessary to make the date change more of an issue. I feel it would have helped the states stick with the rules.

We may not like rules but they are there for a reason. It saves us time and money.

The rules were laid out for all the candidates at the beginning of the election and everyone, including Hillary Clinton agreed to those rules. We have all seen the interview where Hillary Clinton states that the Michigan and Florida votes will not count. The only reason she wants to change the rules is because she is losing…period.

It’s very interesting to me that we are spending so much time and energy on discussing a re-due of the primaries in Michigan and Florida… primaries which were understood wouldn’t count anyway. And because it was understood that the votes wouldn’t count, I’m sure that many voters didn’t even bother going to the polls. We are in the midst of a recession and we are considering spending millions on a re-due of primaries. Doesn’t it just make more sense to split the Delegates in Michigan and Florida 50/50 and invest that money in the economies of the two states?

Obama will do what he learn past 20years

Oh, the great uniter is being silent on an issue of the people??? Ok, the Obama cult, how can u spin this one. This is pathetic. The Obama fans (not supporters) want to always blame Hillary for being decisive and all that. WHAT DO YOU CALL THIS?? So I guess he wants to disenfranchise them now and if (a big IF) gets the nod he will go back and try to sweet talk them for their votes. Man I hope the superdelegates are thinking long and hard and realizing how Obama would lose the general election in a landslide. Hillary will prevail.

Bushbama don't like counting the votes

Obama doesn't want a recount. He would rather the voters don't have a voice. The voters of Florida & Michigan had nothing to say about the date being moved up!!! "Let them vote" Obama!

as i see it Florida and Michigan chose their fate long, long ago! Folorida has since conceeded defeat michigan needs to follow suit. If they waned their votes to count so bad they should have followed the rules. The only reason this is even an Issue is because Hillary Clinton is loosing. There is no logical reason for Obama to agree to hold a re-vote. I am sure that if the shoe where on the other foot (Mrs. Clinton where ahead in votes and Mr. Obama was fighting for a re-vote) some serogate/supporter of Clinton's would have some nice words to say about Obama… something i like to call "Pulling a (Geraldine) Ferrara"

no delegates, No Delegates, NO DELEGATES!

What part of no delegates does she not understand.

DNC - NO BACKBONE

Why set rules if they are not meant to be kept. Tax payers funding another debacle.

Sorry I meant revote LOL.

hmm!! So now Michigan wants Obama to craft a plan. He has. 50-50. However, that is not acceptable to Clinton. It's not up to the candidates to craft plans. It's up to the legislators and the DNC. Stop trying to disenfranchize the voters. The blame goes to Michigan and the DNC.

go obama

Maybe Michigan should have thought about the consequences before they broke the rules.

Who is to blame?

The ELECTED officials of the state.

What can be done?

VOTE THEM OUT.

Quit blaming people who are not at fault. The governors and legislators could have taken another date within the legal window and those votes would be on every web page right now. They didn't do that.

Obama is writing a speech about the Michigan vote. Please give him a chance to finish with his speech

We live in the United States of America…EVERY VOTE must count no matter who it favors, OBAMA! Now that is an obamanation! The democratic party should be ashamed to allow this to happen. I am a strong Democrat leaning towards Independence of my own party!

All time low. Trying to suppress voters because you know you will lose. If Obama gets the ticket and Florida and Michigan don't get a voice Democrats won't win in November, no one wants to vote for someone who got the nomination by suppressing a quarter of the democratic party.

So this is the "Man of Hope"? His campaign is showing its true colors in blocking any "revote" in Michigan and Florida.

This is NOT the Obama we hear about in his speeches. This is more like a Republican move to keep people from voting their choice for the Primary.

STOP BLOCKING DEMOCRACY OBAMA!!!!

Wynter

We are so mad at you Obama here in Michigan!!!! WE WANT OUR VOICES HEARD, WE WANT OUR VOTES COUNTED!!! And all you can say is NO NO NO???? You are losing popularity here very fast and the only candidate who is supporting a re-vote and letting our voices be heard is Hillary and now she will win huge here like she did before because of your bad mistakes Barack. GO HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guess he's really afraid to count those votes in Michigan.

Trying to get his name reinstated after he withdrew it didn't work.

Trying to get the voters to vote against Clinton by voting "undecided" yielded a sizable victory for Clinton.

This is not my first choice for president. (Still beats McCain, but that's not much of an accopmlishment.)

Obamas motive not to endorse a solution is he knows he will loose in both states. For myself if their votes are not counted. I will vote republican. I am 74 and a lifelong democrat.

Why can't people follow the rules or take responsibility for their actions.? These "unaligned" Democrats include Carl Levin who was on the committee that came up with these dumb primary rules to begin with. As A Chicago Cubs fan I think it was unfair that the Cubs were playing under rules where fan interference did not allow the Cubs to go on to the World Series. There should have been a redo, but that wasn't allowed by the rules. Yeah, I know this is our nations future not a sporting event. But that is just the point. Clinton is playing this like a game ("this is the fun part"?) and changing the rules in the middle of the game does not inspire me to believe that I will be able to trust her as president to do what is honest rather than what will help her to be re-elected. Let the DNC come up with a fair solution- if that is possible at this late date. It is wrong to perpetuate the notion, as the Clinton campaign has, that Obama was responsible for disenfranchising the people of Florida and Michigan. Regardless of what is done it would seem that some people's votes would not count, so why not leave it as is, and seat a delegation based on a 50:50 split of the vote- or are the people of Michigan only represented if they can vote for Hillary Clinton?

The Michigan Democratic party shot themselves in the foot by holding an invalid primary. They can't blame it on Obama, and Obama is under no obligation whatever to attempt to alleviate the situation that they themselves created.

I am a Michigan Democrat who crossed over and voted in the GOP Primary because I knew my Democrat vote would not count. Now Hillary and her ilk are saying that since I voted Republican in January
I am not entitled to vote for either her or Obama. What a crock. She's the one who doesn't want to dienfranchise Michigan voters. Bull! She wants to supress Obama's support. Carl Levin and Debbie Dingell should lick their wounds and call it the biggest mistake Michigan ever made.

"A top Michigan democrat" unaffiliated with either campaign… please! Don't act like Obama wants to willingly disenfranchise any voter when he worked in Chicago against voter disenfranchisement.

HILLARY AGREED THAT THE DELEGATES WOULD NOT BE SEATED.

HILLARY IS QUOTED AS SAYING THAT MICHIGAN AND FLORIDA DID NOT MATTER.

THE ONLY REASON SHE CARES ABOUT SEATING MICHIGAN AND FLORIDA NOW IS BECAUSE THEY ARE HER LAST HOPE.

I don't doubt there are leagues of voters in both states who see this for the fact it is.

Why is Obama so afraid of a do over in Michigan and Florida? Can you say that you are the clear winner, if you don't allow the voice of the entire nation to be heard? Is this his better judgement that unites a party or was that just words? Lets get it together and finish what was started.

They should take their frustration on their elected officials who made the fateful misjudgement of pushing their elections on the calendar.

They are being manipulated by Clinton for her own gains.

Can they take the consequences of their own actions?

IF not, blame the man who followed the law, and support who ever joined you in breaking the law.

I propose the number of delegate be divided between the two candidate, but in proportion with the delegates already obtained. that is , if anyone has 1/3rd of the votes, they should get the sme of the total votes of Michigan and FL.
the other with 2/3rd should keep the rest .

That way, the candidates would be sitted, but the dynamics in this election would not be disturbed. I don't want florida and MI to influence this election in any shape or form.

Otherwise, I will vote for McCain.
