Florida and Michigan were offered to revote, like Delaware had to in 1996. If they don't want to revote, that's their own problem. They broke the rules, not the DNC or Obama.
Of course all of this is irrelevant if either Clinton is ahead among actual pledged delegates, or if Obama leads by more than the difference of Michigan and Florida. Michigan is especially a problem, are those "uncommitted" non-existant delegates going to vote for Obama?
Presuming that the DNC actually had the authority to
make the rule, I actually agree with you on the procedure. This, however, is politics and it becomes a good argument for saying that the super delegates can vote, for Clinton, even if she doesn't have the popular vote. That is the trap I'm talking about. Basically to clearly win Obama has not not only come in first with the elected delegates, but he has to come in first either
with the super delegates being counted or
with FL and MI being counted. His victory standard is a bit higher.
(Don't blame me; I didn't write the rules.)
