A Question for Serious Politicos
What if Dean decides to seat the Florida and Michigan (I think it is Michigan) delegates at the last minute?

Could they be allowed to vote independently?

Could this be a possible strategy for swinging the nomination to Hilary if it remains a close race?

I don't know the inner workings of the electoral college system so I'm asking.

Thanks in advance.

1. Dean was quoted (yesterday, I think) about not seating those delegates
He said he was considering holding cauacuses in both Michigan and Florida in March to replace the already ran non-competitive primaries.

That would probably be the only fair way to seat delegates from those two states.
