Why was Michigan punished and its Democratic delegates taken away, and Florida wasn't? Are Obama and Edwards running in Florida?
... and the will to show I will always be better than before.

    They tried to change the primary process late in the game while the campaigns already had their strategies put together. The states went ahead with it anyway, so the Democrat candidates aren't campaigning there and the delegates were taken away.

    I know, but only Michigan's delegates were taken away, not Florida's, and I want to know why.
