9. They need to be punished. Not rewarded
Making all thier delegates super delegates would not only reward them, it would COMPLETELY discount the voters in both states.

My solution:

1) Make each pledged delegate worth half a vote
2) Give uncommitted delegates to Obama in MI
3) Super delegates from both states receive NO vote, as they are the ones responsible for the whole mess

MI pulled this very same crap back in 2004, and after some blustering, McAuliffe had them seated at the convention with no penalty. This year, MI and FL BOTH pulled this crap. Why not? There was no penalty for MI in 2004. If they don't penalize them both, even more states will jump on the ME FIRST bandwagon in 2012.
