Screw Florida AND Michigan!

Florida and Michigan brought this on themselves and upon the rest of us!
 
Carl Levin especially bears responsibility in Michigan's case.  Levin decided that his need to make a point was more important than the our need to vote.

That said, it's time to remind everyone that primaries/caucases are matters of the political parties and there is no such thing as a "right" to vote in the nomination process.  There seems to be a lot of overlap in the conversation that confuses the nomination process with the election process and they are to completely seperate things.

So, for the NAACP and anyone else that thinks the punishment given to Florida and Michigan was too harsh, stop complaining to the DNC.  Get the Florida and Michigan party elders to play by the rules and hold elections that comply with the rules of these PRIVATE organizations and move on!
