Rigid rules penalized our two states for moving up our primary dates so that our first votes would really matter and help build up support for whichever candidate the state's popular vote supported. Michigan really wanted a say because things are so astronomically fucked up here!
question: why are you folks whining and moaning now...? where were you when the DNC did something crazy like handing out a consequence...?
oh my...
the fact is, a re-vote won't even matter, it's all up to the super delegates now...
To quote the great Walter Sobcheck
"Am I the only one who gives a shit about the rules?!"
a.) The states agreed to the rules, Edwards, Obama and everyone else except for Hillary took their name completely off the ballot in Michigan and would have done so in Fl if they were allowed.
b.) They only want to do this because of the stalemate that they are in now, but if a re-vote is done I dont a rock solid win for either candidate so the delegate count barely changes. We then end up spending millions of dollars to not have any effect on the race at all and we are right where we are right now. What is the point of that? It is an unnecessary, costly step.
I was taught a month ago to bide my time and take it slow, but then I learned just yesterday to rush and never waste a day. Now I'm convinced the whole day long that all I've learned is always wrong. Things are true that I forget, but no one taught that to me yet

Where's Maynard James Keenan when you need him?
Bill Nelson (the guy who wrote the piece) is a Clinton endorser, he obviously is going to favor in whatever terms his spinning brain can muster
the newspaper is doing a poor job of neutrality but that is to be expected at this point
