The FL and MI vote fiasco.

I am totally sorry for what your state democratic party leaders have done to your vote, but rules need to be maintained in any organization. Especially an organization the size of the DNC and which is responsible for bringing forth the best candidate [Obama ;~)] for our next president.

The biggest disturbing fact of this matter is that in Michigan there was only one democratic name on their ballot. Is that what you call democracy? The fact remains the name that was on the MI ballot never should have been there if that candidate had adhered to her pledge with the other candidates to not run in that primary. Furthermore, had her name not been on that ballot we would have a much clearer choice to enable us to redo that primary.

In Florida, it was the same thing except there were two names on the ballot and only one person actually campaigned in FL. I should add that at the time of this farce we still had five candidates.

So how do we now equitably just confer the delegates in an uncontested primary, and one in which was unfairly campaigned? Have a new primary in both states in question? How would that fly in say 2012, or 2016, when we do this again? Any state can just go willy-nilly and have their primary / caucus at their own whim?

As I said it's sad for the residents of FL and MI, but I think the best thing they can do for themselves is look to replacing their state Democratic Party leadership. So we do not have to deal with a fiasco like this again.
