If Michigan and Florida lose their delegate seats at the Democratic Convention, is it really a fair race?
Michigan and Florida should not have moved their respective primaries up before getting the endorsement of the DNC. They are the ones that made their own bed. If a redo is out of the question because of expense then the only other viable solution is their delegates are not taken into account at the convention and the number of delegates needed to get the nomination should be adjusted down accordingly. Nothing unfair about that and it is still been a fair race.
If a way is not found to seat the delegates from the states in question at the Democratic National Convention, I foresee a long drawn out court battle. As I have said before, Dean stepped in it big time with this decision. He made a threat that he never thought he would have to follow though on. Unfortunately for the voting populace in Florida and Michigan, he did. You cannot disenfranchised entire sections of the electorate without expecting severe repercussions. Personally I look forward to the court battle, because it will set new legal precedent which will hopefully restrain some people from engaging in political “pissing” contests in the future.
