Michigan and Florida ...

... What? You want your cake and eat it too!?

I'm talking about the Democrat Primaries in the U.S. Earlier this year, these two states decided (against the Democrat National Party's wishes) to hold their Primaries 'early', before Super Duper Tuesday (February 5th, 2008). Michigan held their Primary on January 15, 2008 and Florida held theirs on January 29th, 2008. The consequences? Their delegates that they send to the National Convention in August, do NOT get a say. Why did these states do this? I would assume because they wanted to have a 'bigger say' in the selection of the Democrat's presidential nominee. However, in doing this, they got nothing. And what happened? Well, Clinton and Obama are deadlocked in a tight race for the nomination. Not, only did they lose their delegate votes at the convention, but really they had no say or influence in the race.

There should be NO re-vote. It is THEIR fault for holding their primaries early. They knew what the consequences were. This is simply giving both Michigan and Florida what they have always wanted, a bigger say in the selection of the Presidential nominee. That is was the initial reasoning behind moving up their primaries. They had their primaries, they broke the rules, they have to live with the consequences of the rules they broke.
