And that includes a revote.
For the writer of the piece in the OP to say:
The excuses for Barack Obama to object to ReDo primaries in Florida and Michigan are becoming harder and harder to come by. Joining James Carville, Governors Ed Rendell of Pennsylvania and Jon Corzine of New Jersey have offered to raise $15 million for revotes in Florida and Michigan..
... is
outright lying. And we will not stand for it.
The Obama campaign has ALWAYS said it would support whatever the DNC approves for the state of Florida. Obama spokeswoman Jen Psaki
said the Illinois senator would support any fair remedy that meets DNC rules. He's opposed only to allowing the Jan. 29 primary to count.Clinton spokesman Howard
Wolfson said that the primary should count and that it's too early to begin considering alternatives. Who is throwing up roadblocks here? Howard Wolfson.
Nelson said Florida doesn't technically need the candidates' approval - if the state holds a binding primary, they essentially would have to participate or risk losing the delegates. "But just think how much easier it is if you have the candidates willing to go along with this, instead of throwing up roadblocks," Nelson said.
Obama campaign manager David Plouffe wouldn't say if the campaign would be willing to contribute to new elections.
"If there are remedies that the DNC approves of ... or an additional contest, we're obviously going to abide by" it, Plouffe said.He also said the campaigns shouldn't be saddled with trying to negotiate solutions. "We're in a fierce contest. This is something for the DNC and the state parties to arbitrate."
"A revote is just totally unworkable," said Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D- Weston, a Clinton supporter noting that a record 1.7million Florida Democrats voted. "There are no do-overs in elections that went off without a hitch."But the Obama camp made it clear it would not support seating Florida's delegates based on the Jan. 29 vote.
"Our campaign
will support whatever the DNC rules are, including a fair remedy to this problem," said spokeswoman Jen Psaki. "However, allowing Senator Clinton to change the rules and award her the nonexistent delegates when there was no campaign in the state is not the answer."
We must refute the lies spread about the Obama campaign whenever we find them.
In reality, it appears that folks associated with the Clinton campaign, such as Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Clinton's

Let's just deal with factual reality here.
