Seating Florida and Michigan delegates: So Obama gets penalized for following the rules of the DNC while Clinton's true to form get rewarded for not following the DNC Rules.

The Dems are screwed up, but Obama pulling his name off the ballot in Michigan was not a rule set by the Dem party. He did that on his own to teach Michigan a lesson. Dumb move IMO. And Hillary didn't break party rules in either state. The states themselves broke the rules. But in the end this only hurts the Dem party. As it should.

"The Dems are screwed up..."

Royally screwed up, everything they touch is screwed up.

Actually, I thought all three candidates, Clinton, Edwards, and Obama all agreed to adhere to the DNC rules in writing. Wasn't it Clinton that decided her word means diddly sqaut and went on her merry own way?

Very nasty situation two not running in Michigan, and one did. Realistically no one can go back in time, our views and opinions change regarding candidates over such a period of time it does not appear to be any logical solution for seating the delegates unless it is done on a % basis based on Obama's and Clinton's current standings.
