Yes, Florida and Michigan should vote again, but because it's the right way to do things, not because it will break the impasse between Clinton and Obama.

See, the "deadlock" is an extension of a duality that exists all across the Democratic Party. It's partly generational, partly based in class, partly related to what others have called "theory of change." But whatever its nature, the fact that it's there is undeniable.

It doesn't have to be (and so far hasn't really been) a destructively oppositional duality. But even with that being the case, is there any reason to believe that Florida and Michigan will somehow end up being the deciding states for Obama or Clinton?

It will come down to the convention — which, you know, is what the convention is supposed to be for, after all. So how is that a bad thing? It will have to be hammered out, and the convention will be live with electricity instead of being some dead-handed ritualized practice only vaguely related to its original purpose.

So anyone who feels strongly about who should win should be organizing to persuade the superdelegates in their area. They're your little-r republican representatives to your party. Tell them how you want them to vote.

Should MI and FL re-vote? Well, duh.

Plus:

If both candidates could put a portion of their war chests towards paying for the re-run, it would be an excellent way of healing the rifts caused by those two states holding their primaries early.

It seems to me to be the only way to resolve that issue without hurting the Democratic Party.

They absolutely should and it should be primary only--the most democratic vote. They're simply too big and too important. If it were Guam? Not so much.

YES. Good idea. Why not?

I believe my "our" candidate (Hillary Clinton) would win, and "we" would appreciate the additional delegates. How about it Howard Dean? Please get to work on that.

And someone.... please find the money to pay for it.

Thank you.

A new contest would settle all the concerns now associated with the two states. Both states would get to seat delegates and the results would actually be due to real campaigning. The citizens of both states should have the opportunity to meet with the candidates before deciding who should be the party's nominee.
