It seems that all states should have all primaries on THE SAME DAY. Enough with this "ehh, ehh, if I win Iowa, ehh, ehh, it will look SOOOO good." Enough with this.<BR/><BR/>And to disenfranchise voters in a two-fold manner in MI/FL, by rejecting their delegates and, nationwide, by allowing "superdelegates" the same voting power as entire districts of people, is a joke. The Democratic party should be ashamed of themselves, and acknowledge that shame by letting MI & FL vote again.bluejunkiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05803150994153725926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36404602.post-36358572391682180672008-02-11T02:50:00.000-05:002008-02-11T02:50:00.000-05:00MI/FL created their problems when their State Part...MI/FL created their problems when their State Parties agreed to let an invalid election go forward. They played their Republican leg's game against their own Party. There are no delegates because no election has been held, they pulled levers for something, but not in a Democratic Primary. No delegates have been removed, they simply are not awarded on that basis.<BR/><BR/>Super Delegates are elected. They are Gov, Congressional Delegation, SoS, Party Chair and Vice and DNC Committee People, all elected by ordinary Democrats. No elites, no special special people.Chuck Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13656874242638324636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36404602.post-8837134022549996292008-02-10T17:47:00.000-05:002008-02-10T17:47:00.000-05:00Before their delegates can be counted, I agree tha...Before their delegates can be counted, I agree that both Florida and Michigan should revote.

Plus, my choice was not on the ballot. <BR/><BR/>Carl Levin encouraged Democrats to go out and vote and if they wanted someone not on the ballot, they should vote "undecided."<BR/><BR/>What assurance did we have that the "undecided delegates" (if they were eventually admitted) would vote for the one we wanted? What would prevent the "undecided" delegates" from voting for the one we didn't want? <BR/><BR/>Every state can't go first. The problem is giving too much significance to Iowa and New Hampshire in the first place.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
