If they seat them, then the most well-known candidate -- Clinton -- has a major advantage, since no one has been campaigning in Florida; further, if the Florida delegates are seated, then the Michigan delegates must necessarily ALSO be seated, where the most well-known candidate has already won a majority of delegates -- both due to a similar "no campaign" pledge, and because the other top candidates withdrew their names from the ballot.
Another political angle, which I'm sure the Clinton campaign has considered, is that making this request will get news media coverage, providing them free advertising (skirting the "no campaign" pledge) framing the campaign as the friends of Florida voters.
Yeah, breaking a pledge is oh-so-classy.
