After watching all day and listenening to all the speakers and blowhards  I was happy to see the Florida decision which I thought was fair to all.  As they began to discuss Michigan I thought "they can't seat any of them, this is just too much of a mess"   I was very surprised by the decision on the delegate split.

I tried to understand the MI state party's proposal and find a way to support it but I couldn't.

You all know by now I am a very strong Obama supporter.  I think the best way they could have handled MI was to not seat ANY of their delegates.

That said, I think Ickes made an ass of himself.  The audience also were rude and disprspectful even to Clinton supporters on the panel.  Democracy is not a pretty thing to watch :)

What I'd like to know is how FL and MI party officials came up with their proposals. 

But now that it's done I think eveyrone has to live with it.  After all, Hillary said this last week:

"Last week, Clinton indicated that she might take the fight to the convention in August if Michigan and Florida want to challenge an unfavorable ruling on their delegates. The two states were stripped of their delegates for holding early primaries; a special Democratic National Committee panel meets Saturday to decide their fate.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Clinton was asked whether she would support the states if they appeal an unfavorable rules committee decision to the convention floor, the former first lady replied:

“Yes I will. I will, because I feel very strongly about this.”

“I will consult with Floridians and the voters in Michigan because it’s really their voices that are being ignored and their votes that are being discounted, and I’ll support whatever the elected officials and the voters in those two states want to do.”
