Florida and Michigan regain delegate votes

[RecycleMichael]

I knew that the Democratics would do the right thing and give the delegates back full voting rights.

I argued it months ago when it mattered, but most of you kept harping about how they broke the rules and had to be punished.

The Democrats are united and after this convention in Denver, Obama should be back safely in the lead.

Michigan & Florida wanted to move ahead in the primary season so that their vote would count more.  The democratic party said no.  Then when they figured that their vote could actually be decisive, they really, really screamed.  Now their vote doesn't matter.  That was the point of the punishment.  So, like the rest of the democrats, I am all for giving back their vote.  I am sure they learned their lesson.

I will bet that the next time any state tries to break the rules, their constituents will be paying attention and demanding their elected officials follow the rules.  The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.
