There’s a lot of talk going around about possibly doing a re-vote in Michigan and Florida. This, is one of the most moronic things I have ever heard. First and foremost, the DNC already said that they will not seat the delegates at the convention. That’s it. End of discussion right there. There is no reason why we should change our minds now because the race is close, it just does not stand to reason. If the Democrats change their mind on all of this now, it will just go on to prove how spineless they really are. If the party itself is unable to stick with what they said, why do they think they can command respect from people?
In addition, we already went into this knowing that the delegates would not be seated. So why set a dangerous precident for states that break party rules and change them halfway through the game? If you do this, then you set out the image that things could change at any time. Maybe if things had gone on normally, and Obama won Michigan and Floriday, Clinton would have already dropped out. Who knows what might have been different with the election as is.
Everything else like cost, the fact that the race has dropped to 3 candidates (Let’s not forget Mike Gravel), and the current political situation shouldn’t even matter. You said you wouldn’t seat the delegates. That’s all there is to it. This could be the only chance in history you could disenfranchise your vote by allowing votes to be counted. Be reasonable. No delegates. No votes, move on. Can we talk about something important now, please?
