		<description>I just don&#039;t get this statement in the posting by Ben Smith, “This is a real setback for Hillary, who could have gotten both delegates, momentum, and — crucially — a stronger chance to claim a popular vote lead out of the revote.”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Hillary already got 50% of the vote to O&#039;s 33%.  The FL vote occurred early during the primary season.  I think if it were re-done, then O would pick up more delegates.  Unless Ben Smith believes that H has a lot of momentum now....&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I don&#039;t think the FL delegates should be seated.  Didn&#039;t FL voters know what they were risking when FL changed their primary date?  But we can&#039;t have states change voting dates just because they think the change puts them in a more prominent position.  We&#039;ve seen how all the primaries/caucuses have been important to date, from Iowa to WY.  The irony is that FL may have changed there primary date so they would have a bigger say, when it turns out that they have no say at all.  Serves them right.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;On MI:  same thoughts as FL, really.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But if the Dems are able to do a revote in MI (which seems more likely than FL, because the GOP controlled politics in FL won&#039;t let a revote go forward) then the FL delegates will need to be seated, too.</description>

		<description>&quot;You owe the rest of us contrition, merely as a beginning...&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In case anyone has questions, the &quot;you&quot; here means those who want the delegates seated.</description>

		<description>It was illegitimate.  Remove the quotes for honesty.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It&#039;s likely something will be done with these two states but they have no right to see their delegates seated at all, and should approach this issue bearing this in mind -- along with others who want them to be seated.  You owe the rest of us contrition, merely as a beginning...</description>

		<description>I am a fan seating Florida and Michigan delegates in proportion to the number of delegates Obama and Clinton now have nationally.  This is because without a full campaign there is no other fair way to allocation delegates between them.  And disenfranchising so many voters is just bad democratic form.</description>
