I mean, how could the party, after the fact, when only one candidate did ANYTHING in those two states, come back and say, "You know? Gee. Let's have those utterly bogus contests count for something." They're tainted results from the get-go because only one young go-getter broke her promise not to campaign there. There'd be blood in the scuppers if they tried it.

I think come convention time and Nov., the Dem Party will find this issue very, very far from being resolved. I think the only people wanting it resolved are those who will continue to refuse to listen to 2 very important states with very important EC votes.
See those are 2 very powerful states that the Dem nominee is going to need to win the White House, I seriously doubt anyone can realistically win this Nov. without having at least one if not both of those states.
The GOP can AND will remind the voters in those states how the Dem party didn't give them a say in the delegation committees and how the Dems penalized them for having exercised their right to vote at a time the Dem. Party told them not to.
Of course I'm a hot head but it seems to me the Dems told the citizenry of 2 states, "If you don't do as we say fuck you, you're votes won't count." there will be repercussions I fear for this.
However, Ms. Clinton went ahead and did at least a few nods and winks to those states. That's more than anyone else.... and that maybe the deciding factor in the convention and naming the nominee.
Sorry, if it happened here in OHIO I'd be pissed more than I am at the party and I probably would not vote for the ones who chose to ignore my primary vote in Nov. I would feel the same if I lived in Fla. or Michigan
(*which sucks and I would never live there* (see note below)) and if Obama was the nominee, I'd tell him my vote wasn't important to you in Jan. so go fuck yourself in Nov... perhaps my vote will be important to McCain or the GOP nominee (McCain).
Short answer: I'd choose Hilary.... as much as she scares me, she at least acknowledged the voters in Mich and Fla. Obama didn't and I will never respect the man nor follow the man for that.
HE CHOSE TO REFUSE LISTENING AND CAMPAIGNING TO PEOPLE BECAUSE OF 1 REASON.... THOSE PEOPLE CHOSE TO EXERCISE THEIR RIGHT TO VOTE WHEN THEY WANTED TO VOTE NOT WHEN THE PARTY TOLD THEM TO VOTE.
*Please note, while I am sure Michigan is a very beautiful state for legally blind people, due to the rivalry and just blahness towards the state as an Ohioan, I felt the need to make the customary swipe at Michigan .... it was meant in fun and in all honesty Michigan is a very beautiful state... well outside of Detroit and Ann Arbor andddddd.... well.... thinking about it.... Michigan just sucks.*
