Florida and Michigan...

I could go on for far too long on about how to resolve the DNC stripping Michigan and Florida's delegates... but alas then I would just be another stooge repeating the sunday morning main stream media party line.

I'll tell you how you fix this.... forget about it. Don't seat them. The rules were established. The state Democratic parties in each state thought the DNC was bluffing, they weren't. Sorry Florida and Michigan, but you screwed up... or at least your state Dem leaders did. There isn't a good and clean solution for this issue, but I think it's better to suffer the fallout now than to keep the wrangling going on forever, as both sides try to find a way to split X number of delegates.

At the end of the day the only winner of this is Florida Governor Crist, who gets to support his Democratic primary voting citizens and thus comes across as the true supporter of people's right to vote... while also getting his share of stirring the shit pot that is the Democratic nominating process. On top of all this, it is very possible that the delegates won't be seated, which will mean that Crist can whine on and on all summer saying McCain wouldn't let you be disenfranchised like those damn donkeys. Then in the end [or november], we get to watch Florida go 52-48 GOP, and all the Dems can complain and point fingers and cry again. While Mr. Crist sits back and enjoys being the hero to diseffected independent/donkeys of the sunshine state. Cake.Eat.It.
