Superdelegates must count. and Florida and Michigan shouldn't
Superdelegates vote and that's the rule. Florida and Michigan delegates cannot count because these two states broke the rules.

Sympathizers of both Clinton and Obama love one rule while showing contempt for the other.
They want one rule to be enforced while asking for abolishing the other, depending on what's good for each side.

I say we stop being hypocrites and work by the rules.

Florida and Michigan should not count. DNC has rules that need to be obeyed.
Superdelegates have counted and have a say in the primaries, because those are the rules.

Thanks.

1. You're right
I live in MI and I don't think the votes should count, thanks to our morons in charge.

Our ballot was so dumb - a little tiny piece of paper - nothing but the names of Hillary and Kucinich and uncommitted. Even if the primary was illegal, the least the morons in charge could have done was to advise Edwards and Obama to allow their names to remain on the ballot, just in case the Clintons want to push MI's delegates into their count at the convention. How come they couldn't foresee such a thing, OR DID THEY?

We need more than a change in presidents - maybe some senators and a governor need to leave.

2. It's the same machine politics
dictating both which is why Obama supporters object to both. People who have been screaming to get the centrist appeasers out of Washington are turning around and defending and advocating for the centrist appeasers. It's hysterical.
