Well riddle me this, then--if you were blogging as an objective statesman rather than a wingnut tool, how would you resolve the the Michigan and Florida "dilemma?"

I'm not an expert on Democratic Party rules, but it seems to me that two points are totally true. First, the DNC made a huge mistake trying to "punish" these states by disqualifying their delegates in the first place. Second, having done that, they should not be given votes at the convention and the two states should be disqualified because you cannot change the rules after the various candidates have detrimentally relied on them.

An excerpt from Marine Captain Nathaniel Fick's great book on the Iraq war, "One Bullet Away":
(Fick's platoon is distributing water to Iraqis in a Baghdad neighborhood)
"People streamed in from every corner of the town, carrying freeze bottles, rubber bladders, even a child's wading pool. Tractors and donkeys did some of the lifting, but mostly it was done by women and girls. I watched in awe as seven-year-olds hefted five-gallon cans of water weighing forty pounds onto their heads. Espera's team pulled security on the road, and he leaned against the quarter panel of his Humvee to watch the melee. "Goddamn, sir, if we'd had to fight the women around here instead of the men, we'd have gotten our asses kicked," he said.

You expect anything else from the Democrat party? Remember when they swapped Lautenberg for Torricelli?
