As long as neither candidate has clinched the magic number of delegate votes needed to win the race is technically too close to call. I must say I greatly respect Huckabee for staying in the GOP race despite long odds until McCain actually clinched the nomination. Both candidates need superdelegate help and superdelegates are free to vote however they darn well please. With revotes less likely I can't justify not seating MI and FL at all, though they could go 50% like the GOP and thus save face on the rule enforcement side. Let's just let this play out and for once let the convention do what it is supposed to do and pick a candidate. Ideally, both of them will be on the ticket as running mates and either order is acceptable to me. Democrats cannot afford to sulk if they don't get their way as the outcome in November would be disastrous.
