Florida and Michigan Dems, my heart goes out to you, but your state parties BROKE THE RULES

[derby378]

Nobody is saying that you don't deserve to have your voices heard and your votes counted. But your state party machines decided to give Howard Dean the finger and go along with their Republican legislators in moving their primary dates.

The results in both states were skewed. You know it, I know it, and the Democratic Party at large knows it.

What both states really need is a full re-vote, but legally I don't think that's possible.

This whole thing stinks to high heaven, and it's the rank-and-file Dems in Florida and Michigan who will suffer the most for it. And that grieves me.
