No matter how hard that I try, I can’t make the argument over Democratic delegates from Michigan and Florida any funnier. The Democratic National Committee decided that primaries could not be held before a certain date. Florida & Michigan ignored the rule and held their early primaries anyway. All the candidates agreed with this rule and did not campaign in these states. Obama even removed his name from the ballot in Michigan. No problem until the last month or so, when it looked like Obama was going to squeak past Clinton and win the nomination. Now Clinton really wants those delegates! Clinton supporters are picketing outside the DNC headquarters. Both sides are arguing over whether the votes should be counted and if so whether only half the delegates should be seated, and if so, which half? Maybe all the delegates should get to vote, but only get half a vote each. And what about the uncommitted delegates? Should African American delegates be given 3/5 of a vote each? Or should only Protestants who own land be allowed to vote? C’mon people, follow the rules!!!
