To me, it looks like Dean is trying to put his thumb on the scales in favor of Hillary. On the other hand, I don't think that Florida delegates are going to be seated at all, unless Obama is the winner in any event. The only other way I can see it happening is if they seat them, but require that the delegates be allocated or permitted to vote in such a way that they don't affect the outcome, which would be somewhat of a fraud.

The last paragraph is interesting. Dean wants to "fix" the problem. But the truth is that it's a problem that can't be fixed. It's an irreversible mistake. You can't set rules, and then disregard them without POing those who followed them. And this is a mistake very much like the ones that the Dems commonly make while running the country. If they ultimately socialize our health care industry, and it turns out to be as big a disaster as their primaries, then like the primaries, it's a problem that can't be fixed. We'll be stuck with a second-rate health care system reminiscent of the failed Cuban system, just like the ones that Britain and Canada have.

“You can’t set rules, and then disregard them without POing those who followed them.”

Sure you can - if you’re a RAT. When did rules ever mean anything to them? Get ready to rumble.

If the Florida and Michigan delegates are seated, the next democratic primary will be a sight to behold!
States will be leap frogging for the earliest primary!
Could be fiasco!

dear Democrats:

whenever you make up a rule, be sure to examins carefully what it means under different circumstances.

else you look like a bunch of pre-teen girls trying to play dodge ball.

A Pure Clintanoid story.

BTW way do we never hear that Hillary is in trouble with the PARTY for not getting her name off the MI ballot like all other major RAT candiddtae were instructed to do and accomplished.

The only reason Hillary wants them seated is because she broke PARTY rules and gained an ballot/campaigning advatange.

The remarkable thing is that no democrat at the time seemed to foresee this and “fix” it before the primary. Democrats can't remember the past, don't think the future exists, live only in the moment, just like a dog.

Democrats make and break rules absolutely without regard to consequences.

When it does not work out, they simply make new rules...

To be broken when it suits them.

Oh rats! I wanted this to be a “secret” for a while until the general election so that McCain can use it against the Dem candidate. One of the first advertisements in Michigan and Florida: “The Democrats refused to even seat your representatives, why should you vote for them now?”

"Backlash in Florida" ?????

Here in Florida, while the Democrat party operatives around the state are avidly interested in this delegate brouhaha, the layman voters are barely aware of it.

Swimming, boating, and fishing season is coming up, the new crop of Valencias is ready, bingo and the Indian Reservation casinos are calling, the livin' is easy, and the internal squabbles in the Marxocrat Party couldn't be farther from the minds of the geezer FDR and NYC voters here in the Sunshine State.

There's a vague awareness of an election coming up in November but the Democrats' delegate infighting is hardly a hot topic among the newly-retired and the nearly-expired Dems in Florida.....even if they cared.

The usual hot topics prevail......one's last operation, one's grandchildren up north, and where to get the best 99-cent breakfast.

The to-do over delegates is having little-to-no effect on the rank-and-file Democrat voter. Whether the Democrat nominee is Barack, Hillary or Tony Soprano, the NY/NJ transplants and the AARPers will turn out in massive droves to vote straight Donkey.

Then they'll board the buses for their condo associations' monthly outings to the dog tracks.

You'll see them seated because the RATS lie, cheat and steal...that's the only thing they know how to do! I say by May or June Floriduh and Michigone will be allowed to count. DON'T know how, but knowing the rat criminal's mind, they'll find a way!
