Did you read my post?

My point was NOT that the two states went early and were being punished.

My point WAS that while it was not politically to Obama’s advantage he fought good and hard to keep them from being seated at all, and when he finally caved it was for half of Florida and Michigan’s delegates to be seated. Then he took everyone’s votes but Hillary’s in Michigan and then stole 4 of hers. All the time, insisting these are the rules and we must go by them.

BUT now that he has the delegates needed he is assuring both states that he will have them seated in full, because now it is to Obama’s political advantage to not piss off both states whose voters are suggesting either keeping Obama off of the ballot or giving him half a vote.

Why was it so important to follow the dirty DNC rules before but now that it can not hurt him he wants to break the DNC rules?

Any way, it does not matter. I am glad the votes will count in full.

This thread is good, and this post is getting it off topic.
