Bad? Brilliant?

Redoing the primaries in Florida and Michigan is silly. These two states knew the consequences of moving their primaries before Feb. 5th. If people feel their votes were disenfranchised they should take that matter to their state legislatures, who were responsible for moving the primary. The DNC had rules in place and informed the states of what would happen. The states ignored this. Also if the primaries were redone Hillary has a built in advantage. She was already on the ballot in Michigan (the only candidate to be there) and she heavily campaigned in Florida. You don't think the voters in these two states will not forget this. Also, at the time of the earlier primaries John Edwards was in the race...he will not be there this time; won't the people who wanted to vote for him be disenfranchised. I am sick and tiered of people forgetting that there are processes in place for close races- the superdelegates...let's let these processes play all the way out. Who knows the voters of Michigan, Florida, and the rest of the nation may all be happy with the result; and whoever wins will be a million times better than ol' I'll do and say anything to get in office McCain.

Michael, Michael, you must live in another country, because in American, the America that I grew up in counts the votes, it is called the will of the people. Lets not act like all those foreign governments that do not recognize human rights!

You must have been living somewhere else in 2000..Bush v Gore concluded that American votes don't count. Unless you are justice to the Supreme Court.

bRYAN, I thought this was the United States of America where the people had the right to say who will represent them in the highest office in the nation. Well, Michael, over 2 million people to us who they wanted, why are you obstructing their opinion? Hitler, Stalin, Hussein, they all had little reasons not to listen to a certain part of the people he did not agree with, but Bryan, this is America, We the People, decide, not the candidates! Since when are elections supposed to be fair to both candidates, one always loses, so your candidate not wanting to recognize the voters in these two states because of a technicality, I say, if that how you want to run an election Mr. Obama, your in the wrong country! It's We, the people, who decide who will be President!!
