It's amazing to me that this article so callously writes off the wishes of voters in Michigan and Florida. The DNC has shown zero leadership in trying to resolve the issue of those primaries, and Barack Obama, a supposed leader and uniter, has obstructed any sensible resolution because he would get slammed in (at least) Florida. Aside from the impact on Hillary's chances, what kind of message does this send? The Democratic party, the party that wanted every Florida vote to count in 2000, could care less about those votes in 2008? It is the epitome of hypocrisy, and crying "The rules! The rules!" (the rules that were broken for New Hampshire, I might add) is no substitute for fairness and making sure that every Democrat has a say in this extremely close primary contest, regardless of which candidate benefits from the result.
