There has been an ongoing back and forth argument whether to seat FL and MI delegates or redo a primary/caucus. Also, the Governors of both states have said It would cost lots of money for a redo in both states. Knowing that these Governors and the Democratic Party are not ready to sponsor these redoes, it would only make sense, since the people of Florida and Michigan want their voices to be heard, to split the delegates from both states by a 50/50 ratio. This would not only stop the notion that FL and MI rights have been disenfranchised, it would be also add more figures to the number of delegates each candidates have received so far which would be more closer to the magic number.


Thanks.

    • This is the most democratic way to do it. If not, and the issue really is money and time, have a caucus which is the cheapest and fastest way to do it. I don't think the public will stand for any dirty tricks here like primary by mail or disenfrachising black voters. Allowing elections like the one in Florida and Michigan (where Hillary's is the only name on the ballot) is the height of old party politics, undemocratic and deeply disturbing. Thank you for your time and know that many of us intend to continue pressing this until democracy is allowed to once again exist within the Democratic Party.

    • People in Florida are very tired of election being stolen . I've spoken to Florida citizens and a lot of them will not vote again . Throw those votes in the garbage.

    • Please let the delegates be seated, but we cannot afford to let this thing linger into June. Split them down the middle and resolve this ASAP so we can prepare for McCain.
  • NO. That wouldn't be FL's or MI's voices.

    • 1. Obama, violating is pledge not to campaign in Florida, did a national media purchase (that finished right after the FL primary) for TV ads. Something that neither Hillary nor Edwards did.2. Obama was fresh from is cacus victory in Iowa, was and still is the media darling and had debated with the other candidates a great deal of times by the time of the FL primary. For not to be aware of him or his platform, you really would have to had lived under a rock. Florida had a RECORD TURNOUT for the democrats, and Hillary defeated no only Obama, but also John McCain. ONLY HILLARY can deliver Florida in November.
