Now the Dems are talking about doing a mail-in redo vote in Michigan and Florida. This idea is just stupid. There is enough opportunity for voter fraud without trying to conduct an entire primary via the U.S. Postal Service.
Michigan doesn't even have Party I.D. so leaders there would have to sort out all of those who voted in the Republican primary before sending out the ballots. Remember, I am from the once great state of Michigan, so I know the people, and understand their frustration. They want their votes to count but the only ones they have to blame are themselves and their party leaders who blatantly disobeyed the rules that were agreed upon a year and a half ago.
Hillary wants the delegates to be seated the way it stands now of course because she won both states. Is that fair? Hell no! Obama wasn't even on the ballot in Michigan. Along with Biden, Edwards, Richardson and Kucinich, Obama did the right thing and pulled out of the Michigan primary which was, as Biden called it, simply a "beauty contest". Party leaders from both of these states knew what they were getting into when they decided to hold their primaries early. Therefore, it is only right that their delegates not be seated at the convention. Period.
It is a simple decision of right and wrong and a product of lessons about following the rules we all should have learned in pre-school. If these delegates are seated, it will set a dangerous precedence for the Democratic party for future races.
What do I care though right? Maybe it is just my instinctive urge to fight for what is right, but this could very well lead to the destruction of the Dems for years to come, which I would be happy with!
