Should there be a re-vote in Florida and Michigan?

Neither of the Democratic candidates campaigned here in Florida or in Michigan. Both were on the ballots, both received votes. Now they are whining about the delegate count. I am registered Independent, but I lean Republican. I don't want either Clinton or Obama as a presidential candidate. But IF they decide on a re-vote, since Mcain has the Republican vote locked, I will register Democrat, and vote for Clinton, because I sure as hell don't want Obama. Clinton at least has presidential experience (who do you think screwed up the country while her husband was getting screwed...hehehehe lol a joke.. EASY don't bite my head off!!) Then, when the BIG vote comes, I will stay registered a Democrat, but vote Republican across the board. That will be fun!

I just read in the paper this morning that Florida will not be re-voting and Michigan is still debating! The problem I see here is a major one for the democrats. Florida has always, for the most part, leaned republican. Now, because Florida refused to be placed in a box and told how to run their state ALL of her democrat voters are being left out of the presidential nomination process, disenfranchised, if you will. This will do more to ensure Florida stays a red state this November than anything McCain could say or do. Michigan, to my knowledge has never been a republican leaning state but in the past few elections have drawn a closer line to the right! The votes have been pretty tight in the past two general elections and if these democrats are also disenfranchised by there own party that could be the straw that broke the camel's back! If Michigan's delegates are not counted in the Democratic National Convention my prediction is for an upset by the republicans in Michigan in November!

Actually Florida is a pretty big swing vote. The winner of Florida always wins by a close margin which makes the DNC's decision especially stupid. Remember, Bush only beat Gore in Florida by 300 votes by some counts. The biggest margin amongst the recounts still only put Bush ahead by 1700 votes. I don't know how Michigan usually leans but disenfranchising any voters is wrong and can only effect the democratic candidate in a negative way.

If Florida and Michigan would have held their primaries when they were allowed to this wouldn't be an issue now and I think both states need to be taught a lesson and neither one of them should get their delegates seated. I too lean republican and McCain has had my vote since the beginning but if I were to slip and fall and bump my head or be forced with threat of bodily harm to choose between the democrats running for that seat I would vote Clinton as well. You made it a joke but I always thought she "wore the pants" in that presidency. Her husband sure as he11 couldn't keep his on so someone had to be calling the shots. And she made a statement that is very true. It took a Clinton to clean up the mess the last time a Bush was in office. It may just take a Clinton to clean up this mess too.

Both states need to be taught a lesson? So you think innocent voters should be disenfranchised because one group of pompous rich people disagree with a decision made by another group of pompous rich people? Nobody asked me when to have the primaries. But I guess it's ok to take away the American right to vote if Howard Dean says so. Clinton won both of these states so Obama REALLY wants to make sure that our votes aren't counted. It really disgusts me that people think it's ok to disenfranchise voters. What ever happened to the right to vote in this country?
