OBAMA: YOU ROCK. NEXT STEP. SEAT FLORIDA MICHIGAN!
It's over. Hoooray. Obama should now give a speech in Florida, calling on the DNC to give Florida and Michigan's pledged delegates full votes (punish the Super Delegates, and let them keep half, since it was party people who screwed them.) He can recognize that it has been a difficult situation but that he cares deeply for them, and wants them to be seated in the interest of bringing the party and country together. He'll still be up by 80-100 pledged delegates so it's not like the Supers would be giving it to him.

Huh? Since when does Obama determine how MI/FL delegates can or can't vote?
This is what the RBC has been about. Where have you been? Obama might make suggestions, but he has no authority to make this kind of decision.

Sorry, I didn't read carefully. Please ignore the above.
Still, I think the decision has been made and won't be changed.

Didn't the DNC legal folks instruct the RBC that by rule it could not seat either delegation with full votes?
