Say Hello To The Petard

Aside from the super delegates mentioned below, with the Democrats' race so close, many are noting that all those unseated delegates from Florida and Michigan--366 to be exact--might make the difference. But there's no easy way to decide what to do with them. Either Clinton or Obama's side will howl with protest almost no matter what is done, and setting up new elections is logistically a nightmare, if even doable.

And after the Democrats made such a stink about counting all the votes in 2000, don't they at least have to pretend they care about the subject this time around?

The Washington Post writes about the issue as if states like Michigan must regret their decision to hold elections earlier than allowed. I think they got it backwards. It's the Democratic National Council, as I've noted, that should now be regretting its high-handed way of slapping down states that got out of line
