    How some Clinton supporters are all for seating the delegates but if but the shoe were on the other foot, there would be holy hell, justified to raise.

    In Michigan, key candidates like Obama, Edwards, et al were not on the ballot. In Florida, despite it not being recognized, Hillary put in a strong effort in comparison to Obama's late appearance.

    It was stupid of the locals Dems to push forward their primaries given the consequences and would be equally wrong, regardless of Hillary or even if it was Obama who had won to suddenly change the rules of the game.

    In fairness to the Democrats in those states there are only two conclusions, either suffer the consequences as laid out originally or and better yet, to redo the primaries. At whose expense to be determined.

    If Hillary wins in a second go, fine. If Obama wins, fine. But to seat the delegates for Hillary from Michigan or Florida as is would be a travesty. And for some of you Hillary supporters, you know it would be wrong and would complain about it as I mentioned if Hillary hadn't won by default but Obama did.

    If WE are to change the political landscape and future of this country then it is best for us to tend our own gardens first and behave in the way we want this country to be instead of the bickering name calling bullshit that passes as comment.
