Actually, I support your decision. I always put progressive values ahead of this abstraction "the party."

So I support your statement. I hope in the end you'll come to feel that Obama had earned your vote.

Secondly, I fully agree that the state parties of Michigan and Florida, together with the DNC, badly botched this whole operation.

Michigan was obviously an unfair election and it would disenfranchise voters to pretend otherwise.

I suspect the same of Florida to a lesser degree. Do you really think that it was a fair election in Flordia knowing that name recognition and familiarity counts for so much and HRC had a distinct advantage in this regard?

Either way, Florida's delegates become irrelevant to the outcome of the election if Michigan's are not seated with none going to Obama. Without that Mi result, HRC cannot get close enough in the seated delegates to argue for the supers to overturn it.

Anyway, I also think that well informed individuals can disagree about how much blame Clinton or Obama have in this. Many people, including me, feel that Clinton shares most of the blame.

My point is that it doesn't matter. Whether or not Obama is to blame, it's no excuse to strip his voters of their right to vote for him.
