  • Admirable, but not specific

    How do they propose giving those voters a voice? That has really been the crux of the issue all along. Personally, I think Obama should concede Florida as an act of good will and Michigan should re-vote. I would not argue with Florida re-voting, but I don't really think it is necessary, and as Slackie has argued elsewhere, it would make Obama look really good if he said so too. It also highlights that Michigan is quite a different situation and gives him a bargaining chip to request a re-vote there. If Clinton sincerely wants to re-enfranchise voters rather than just winning, she can't really refuse that offer.
