Obama should embrace FL and MI revotes now.
I am a big Obama supporter and have been since late summer. With the exception of Daschle, I've been disappointed with the talk from Obama supporters about the proposed Florida and Michigan revotes. Daschle on Meet the Press was the first supporter that I've seen say Obama would supporter revotes.
My personal feeling is that it's a losing argument to keeping on harping about how FL and MI broke the rules. I think it's general accepted that the original votes were straw poll at best and any delegates need to be allocated another way.
Obama should have a press conference where he fully embraces the revotes in both states. Odds are he will still lose FL, but the percentage will likely be much closer. As for MI, he has an excellent shot of actually winning it, causing the delegate count to nearly be evened out between the two. Plus, he will look like the bigger person and willing to do something that could potentially hurt his political chances.
That would be a good example of showing the new politics.
