5. Wow, that's a stretch...
The vote was not valid.. they used some strange formula to arrive at these numbers..Also, this is the compromise that MI came up with for their state... If one does not like what the representatives do in MI, then the people in MI need to vote them out of office.. these formula's, to arrive at the MI #'s, were explained in detail by Sen. Levin, who was representing MI and the petition to seat the delegates.. To me, FL, my state, and MI, were completely invalid.. and I as a FL voter, feel that my vote is being stolen by Sen. Clinton. However, this is compromise.. and its not pretty.

I think one must use a very level head in understanding what occurred.. these 2 states petitioned the RBC to have their delegates seated in this manner. I would hope that Senator Clinton would respect the wishes of the state's Democratic Party and the compromised petitions that they allowed to be passed.
