| Tom, that's exactly what I'm saying. The power brokers in Washington have a choice to make. They can either accept the results of the two states' primaries, schedule and pay for a do over (it could be done by mail to cut costs), or choose not to allow the Democratic voters in Michigan and Florida to be heard.
Considering that this all came about because the DNC wanted, this year, to bestow the "star" state status of Iowa and New Hampshire on one Western state (Nevada), and one Southern state (South Carolina).
There is a great deal for the DNC to lose by ignoring FL and MI. They are very big states both in size and delegate count.
The other huge risk may be one of public image during the November election. There is a strong possibility of voter backlash. For that reason alone, I think the DNC will have to somehow recognize the delegates from these states before it's all said and done. |
