Wolf Blitzer Cares - Retry
Sorry, but the initial post got cutoff for some reason...
Wolf Blitzer claims that its way too important that the Florida and Michigan Democrats be seated at the national convention. Why? And why does Wolf care?
This is all hooey. Florida and Michigan voters should take it up with their elected representatives that voted to move their primary and the DNC (including one Harold Ickes) who stripped them of all delegates. All the campaigns knew and agreed to this going into the contest. Bill Nelson sued and lost in district court and said at the time that he would not appeal. Seems the only thing that’s changed is HRC’s placement and the MSM’s desire to see this go on in order to boost their ratings.
So, as a Florida resident I say to heck with Florida’s delegates. We brought this on ourselves and now have to live with the consequences! So, thanks Wolf, but go cry your crocodile tears elsewhere.

I don't really see FL/MI going anywhere. The Clinton campaign is crying over it now because they're losing. No one objected when the rules were laid down. No one wants to pay for another election in these states and the DNC is not going to sit the delegates as-is. I think they'll either get seated 50/50 or not at all.

The only thing Wolf Blitzer cares about is his ratings. He couldn't care less about voters in those states or anywhere else. Every primary night brings big ratings boost to his network.

The flaw in the 50/50 thinking is that it makes sense.
