I'll be just as sore at him as I was at Hillary when she was trying to prevent us from having our say.

I won't vote for anyone who stands in the way of my primary vote in the general election.  Count my vote now, or don't count on my vote later.

We simply must have a redo.  As I have said for month's - back before anyone realized this was a problem - the party screwed up.  They must make it right.

And the redo should be as simple as possible: announce a date, and then allow the primary to occur as it normally would.  Obama really shouldn't be afraid.  He has a 170 pledged delegate lead, which won't go away in 12 contests, some of which (NC, Oregon, South Dakota, Montana) he'll be expected to win.  Unless he just falls apart totally at the finish line the nomination is his.  He should support a full Michigan/Florida vote.

"He should support a full Michigan/Florida vote."

Even thought I want him to be the nominee, more important than that to me is the sanctity of voting.  The voters must be heard.

I don't think a Clinton sweep of Florida would change much of anything.  There isn't much for him to lose now.  What he will risk later is the vote of us who were alienated in the primary.  I any of the candidates want to destroy the Democratic party's chances in Florida - oppose a revote.

This is the only fair way of solving this problem. Hopefully this is only negotiation posturing.

This issue is not so easy to resolve because of the problems related to the cost of a second primary and who will pay for it.

The problem is that in Florida, for instance, the state legislature, controlled by Republicans, will not pay for another primary.

The DNC is broke so they can't pay for it.  

The Clinton campaign has objected to holding a caucus to resolve the problem so that's out.

And Obama has done a great job of articulating why a mail-in vote is not a viable option.

How can you be "sore" at Obama, as relawson states he would be, for trying to come up with additional ideas to address the problem?  

A second primary is never going to happen in Florida because the state of Florida nor the DNC is going to pay for it.    

   

Nobody campaigned there, and even though Clinton did some disturbing stuff there to win (she held "fundraisers" that were open to the public), Florida should probably be counted as it is, with Edwards delegates free to go wherever they choose.

Michigan, however, NEEDS a redo.  Obama wasn't even on the ballot.

There will be plenty of time for blame, but I'll start now.  I am mad that my vote will not count.  It is scandalous.  I want Dean's head on a plate - and Donna Brazil's.  This is a total failure of leadership.  Their reaction to the shift in our primary was draconian.

This has undermined Democrat's chances in Florida.  Frankly it has alienated myself and millions of other Floridians from the Democratic party.

I will live up to my promise: if my vote is not counted now, don't count on it later.  There is nothing more important in a democracy THAN A VOTE.  Nothing!

The only thing at this point that will satisfy me is emergency legislation taking power away from the parties and setting primaries on a single day.  If parties won't cede that power, I want nothing to do with them.
