This not a national election, air-head. This is a Democrat Party primary in which the party--an organization--defines a process for choosing a candidate for an election.

The Party and the Flordia and Michigan principles of the party made an agreement about how this was going to go down, and as a result of that agreement, when the two states rescheduled against the rules, the party told them their primary votes wouldn't count--and as a result Obama did not campaign in either state, and wasn't even on the ballot, because he was playing by the rules.

These voters have NOT been disenfranchised. I don't know who was in the decision the state party members made to break the agreement with the DNC people, but it is pretty clear that a ballot with only one candidate on it is not a fair electoral process. Or do you not see that?

What do you think would be a fair solution to the fact that the MI and FL Democrats are now complaining their delgations are being snubbed, despite the fact that they clearly decided this would be the consequence they preferred?

Sometimes your rhetorical armwaving is pure Bolshie, ya know that?
