I think it's hypocritical for those that are advocating for the super delegates to stay out of this election (moveon.org petition), while at the same time, advocating that Michigan's and Florida's votes should not count.
They say to count Michigan and Florida, would be a break from party rules. But telling the super delegates to not do what they have a right to do, is also a break from the party rules. They can't have it both ways. And if you disenfranchise Michigan and Florida voters AND tell our super delegates that they can't make a choice either - then Michigan and Florida get no representation whatsoever in this election.
As a Michigan voter, I am very upset with those advocating that our vote not count. If our vote wasn't going to count, why did they let us vote? And, how is it my problem that they cut these deals, and certain candidates opted out of Michigan, but did not opt out of Florida? It made many of us hopping mad that they kept their names on Florida's ballot, but not Michigan's. I suspect they did that to appease the Iowa voters. Michigan is going through a one-state recession. We of all people, should have a right to have our vote counted. Let this race go forward and make sure all of us get a voice.
