So on Saturday, the leaders of the Democratic National Committee are going to sit down and decide what to do about Florida and Michigan. Personally, I think there's only one option--
Leave it how it is now. Don't seat the delegates.
Boo-hoo, Hillary, but you agreed that you weren't going to care about Florida and Michigan, because they moved their primaries. They violated the rules of the DNC and they HAVE to pay the consequences.
Howard Dean's gonna look terrible if he doesn't follow the rules his party has set forth. He's gonna look terrible if he does follow the rules, come to think of it... the people in Florida are pretty angry.
I was reading an article today that really got me thinking about this whole mess. It said that people in Florida are crying foul on the DNC not seating the delegates. One woman compared it to disenfranchisement of African Americans, and another said that, after all Florida went through with hanging chads, they shouldn't have their voices stomped on.
Because you had a messed up system of voting in 2000, you should be able to mess up our system of voting in 2008? I THINK NOT!
So anyway, they'll be deciding what to do this Saturday. CNN.com/LIVE is going to have LIVE COVERAGE of the meeting. I know I'll be glued to my laptop... how about you guys?

Hey Jessi,
Interesting blog, I'm Canadian though so U.S. politics are a little below my sight line, interesting nonetheless.
