2. Too late. I"m still pissed at Obama for pulling his name off the ballot.
Of course, I love him as a candidate, and I think he'll be an awesome President. It's more like the kind of "pissed" you are at your brother (or sister) for something they did you you when you were kids. I.e., "I'm STILL pissed at you for the time you dunked my rubber duckie in the toilet!"

But giving MI and FL full voting rights is pretty much a "meh" moment for me. Doesn't matter now, so why bother?

3. Seems like the Michigan legislature deserves your blame and your wrath
Obama didn't make the rules, he's just playing by them.

6. I'll be happy to argue the point...
On November 5, 2008. Right now, we have a Democratic ticket to support and a general election to win.

5. Inevitable
They were never going to he unseated or split, unless the delegate margin was razor thin causing a battle for every last one the past two and a half months.

This doesn't matter to me but I spent January through June in Florida and there was considerable unrest and disgust about the way the situation was handled. I heard it at convenience stores, golf courses, you name it. We don't retrieve everyone.
