The exclusion of Michigan and Florida was a penalty imposed by the DNC. In my view, it was an unfair one and should be lifted. The votes should count as is, the delegates should be awarded and seated.Fine, as far as Florida goes, but Obama withdrew his name from the Michigan ballot and so he didnt' get votes in that state. He should not be punished by the DNC for following the DNC rules. A 50-50 split sounds sensible.
Who knew this would be such an issue.

Hey all, I just came across I great website that is better then youtube for political/election videos. It has all campaign videos, ads, news coverage, interviews, pundits, and comedy clips of the 2008 election. Visit www.campaigncirucs.com , and you will be happily surprised with all the content in one spot.
Ben Smith of Politico has an interesting take on this. Of course, Ben has admitted that he's a hardcore Hillary supporter and most of his posts are soft-core pieces for Hillary (Taylor Marsh e-mails him talking points everyday, if that gives you an idea)...but it's interesting nonetheless.
