It is like this. You go to a baseball tournament and are told only innings 1 through 7 are going to be played. But two teams in the tournament played 9 innings and racked up more runs. There comes a tie in wins between a team that played 7 and a team that played 9. And they decide to decide the tournament on most runs. Well the team that followed the rules only played 7 innings and agree to accept the scores from any teams at the end of the 7th inning, but the teams that played 9 are angry because all of their runs don't count.

Those two states were dissallowed in the beginning and people who might have voted, did not because they were told there was no point, and others, may have registered or voted in the Rep primary and are not allowed to vote in the Dem now even if they originally wanted to. Play by the rules, votes count, don't play by the rules, forfeit the game. If the good voters in MI and FL wanted their voices heard, they should have been demanding it long before the forfeit votes occured.

I agree. Obama chose to remove his name from Michigan. Hillary, Chris Dodd and Kucinich chose to remain on the ballot. Obama voters could have voted uncommitted and their votes would be counted in Denver. Both Obama and Clinton both on ballot in Florida. I don't see a problem with counting Florida. Howard Dean's got a big mess on his hands.
IMHO - Florida's going to go for McCain. They've got a pretty popular moderate Republican governor in Charlie Crist.

Hahahaha... you guys are ALL getting scammed... Hilliary is a lost cause, she is over $20 MILLION in debt and needs to pay off that debt before she drops out of the race... she (via her campaign) is trying to scam you to donate more money to pay off the $20 million debt (also pay back what she LOANED to her campaign + interest)... she wants her money back otherwise she got NOTHING and paid MILLIONS for it... its a scam.. its like a business who is going out of business asking for donations to keep it open when it already signed the bankruptcy papers... She lost its over... she just doesn't want to lose as much money... thats why her campaign isn't campaigning anymore... they are just asking for money... Personally, I leave her to manage her own debts.. unless she wants everyone to share the burden of her debt... I know she would probably prefer it that way..
