Short-term I think FL and MI will have to take their medicine and not have their votes count, though they'll be represented at the convention. Long-term, state Dem leaders will think twice about fiddling with when their primaries are held without the approval of the nationals. Of course this could all be undone by the cry, "But it's not FAIIIIR!"

Ah, but what if Hillary pulls strings with the rules committee and gets FL and MI seated and voting anyway? Then the fireworks really begin!

You know she'll do it if she needs to. I know she will. Everybody knows.

You've also gotta wonder at the idiot Dem state officials that were told their votes wouldn't count if they moved up the dates, then still moved up the dates! Why in the world did they intentionally make their votes irrelevant, when they knew full well the implications of their decisions?

I hope it stimulates a discussion about the whole process of picking a nominee - in both parties. The republicans are pretty complacent about it but really, their method sucks as bad as the democrats'.

If they are denied representation, you can bet there will be a lawsuit.

That will be fun to watch! ;)
