Should Florida and Michigan vote again?

Sure it would be expensive, but the cost to the Democratic Party if superdelegates end up choosing the nominee would also be high.

    Obama had to file paperwork to take his name off, ie, go out of his way. Clinton did nothing. There was only an agreement not to campaign there, not to all pull their names off the ballots. How is that cheating? It was a ploy that backfired on Obama. His campaign thought it would be humiliating for Clinton if she lost to "uncommitted." They overestimated support for them.
