Michigan Democrats officially have declared they won't hold a do-over presidential primary. |

Just a CNN.com headline now.

4. Well, if that's the case, then they shouldn't be seated |
|
First off, they broke the rules. Secondly, they voted for Clinton in a patently skewed race. Now they don't want to have a do-over primary that would be fair. Oh well, screw 'em.

5. I don't think there's a way to make it fair |
|
Do you let everybody vote in the do-over? What about the people who switched to vote Republican because they thought the Dem primary wouldn't count. What about the people who didn't register at all. Do they get to register now? I can see how there would be a lot of problems with a do-over. I think they just don't count. Seat them after the nominee is chosen and hopefully they'll all support the nominee the way the rest of the delegates will.

As it will be in FL.
50/50 people. These states broke the rules and are lucky to even be considered for 50/50.
