Clinton, Obama, Michigan and Florida

Friday, the local state dem convention will be welcoming not one, but two presidential candidates. That's right, against conventional wisdom, both Clinton and Obama will be visiting a state that hasn't gone blue since Lyndon Johnson.

But then nothing is conventional about this primary season and I don't anticipate the coming months will reflect anything we've seen in the past....thankfully. Still, it's surprising they are both taking time out from their heavy campaigning in PA to visit a state whose primary is over AND whose super delegates have already made public their candidate choice.

Maybe its a sign of just how unusual things are this year...where every primary seems to count ...except for Michigan and Florida. Ok, so somethings haven't changed at all. :)

On the topic of Michigan and Florida, with a primary race so close and neither candidate looking like the pledged delegate vote is going to get them to the finish line, why are we not getting re-votes set up in these two states?

Who are we punishing here? It's not the voters fault the elections were scheduled too early. It's not the candidates fault either. And it's not like we are talking about some kind of corruption or dishonesty, they held their elections too early. Come on. Someone needs to pony up the cash and get another primary held in these states.

Aren't Democrats tired...exhausted really, with elections being decided on technicalities rather than an accurate reflection of the desire of voters? If I lived in Florida, I don't think I would vote at all anymore.
