I haven't looked at the counts yet, but with Howard Dean stating that he will indeed seat Florida and Michigan, how does this impact the race?

My understanding -- and I could be completely, 110% wrong on this one, all right? DON'T quote me. ;) -- is that, yes, the delegates for both said states do get "seated" at the convention... but: none of them actually get to cast votes during the initial (and often decisive) round of ballots, re: the selection of the party's eventual nominee. (I do believe that potential later rounds, however, are still the subject of some ongoing negotiation.)

Hope that helps.

Heck... I just hope it's actually right, come to think! ;)

Always remember that the DemocRAT credentials committee is controlled by Hillary's flying monkeys.

She has a couple of good hole cards to play yet.
