106. Proportional?
I see their point since the delegates won't be seated anyway, this in essence is a winner take all vanity contest. I would argue with them but sadly, being disenfranchised and stripped of a fair campaign I think their reasons can be respected.

The trouble is that with the Clintons garnering all this voteless momentum, there is NO single strategy to express anything much in Michigan or Florida. Should the dark day come when suddenly ALL those phony Clinton delegates are seated it would be an utter catastrophe for the entire party itself right to the core, far beyond the lasting damage it would do to Hillary to triumph by these means.

And yes, you idiot Dem politicians in Florida beating your chest to the vast entertainment of the GOP, it is you who have screwed your state, your people, your party and your nation out of sheer stupidity.

I don't think these people can be criticized for anything except not throwing rotten eggs at state party officials who are trying to scapegoat Dean while enlarging this disaster.
