1. Fine with me.

In fact, go ahead and give her 30 net delegates, which would be a 62%-38% split. I think that's what it would be if you take her margin and subtract the margin for other candidate who were on the ballot from Obama's total and give him just the uncommitteds.

If they do that and seat Florida as is, Obama's delegate lead is still insurmountable.

2. They were not on the ballot either

3. This is what needs to happen

The Republicans gave MI and FL half credit for breaking the rules. We should do the same. Then we either need to have the results as they were originally voted count, with "uncommited" in Michigan counting for Obama. Or else they can get up a caucus and revote if they want. One of these needs to happen.

4. Too late for a do-over..and it would REWARD them

for breaking the rules.. They should get ZERO super delegates, and count the "elections" at 1/2 delegate count..

"popular vote" is thrown OUT as a "counting/measuring" factor, since many people did NOT go because it was not going to count..

Uncommitted goes to Obama..

It's incredibly simple..

5. We played with fire and got burned.

We were told our votes wouldn't count towards delegates.
We had our faux vote.
I am all for a comprise as long as it isn't... "Surprise! Your vote will now count towards delegates!"

I don't like being tricked, no matter how much it benefits a Clinton.

6. Obama should offer a revote now

Hed beat her by 10.

8. LOL

Good idea, plus there's NO way she could afford to run a MI or FL campaign now.

7. How many times do they do this, and how many times do they decide finally that they can't do NEthing

Haven't I heard about 20 times already that all their ideas are scrapped and they missed a deadline?
