MI and FL: Punish the Superdelegates, not the pledged delegates


I have been thinking about this debacle, and it occurs to me: the SUPERdelegates are the party leaders for the state. It is THEIR fault for not coming up with a better solution for the people of their states before the primaries were moved.

I have no clue whether they favor Obama or Clinton, but I think that THEY are the ones who should be punished with no vote.

As for the pledged delegates—the people voted, and their opinions stand as being on record. I think both states should be certified 100%, with all of Michigans "Uncommitted" votes going to Obama, since Edwards (the other guy not on the ballot) has now endorsed Obama.

Being a superdelegate means being a leader. These people failed as leaders, and should not be awarded votes. However, the will of the people should be represented in full.

Guam results certified without recount


This is not important at all—the race was a tie, for all intents and purposes—but I was curious what the outcome of the recount was.

It turns out that Joe Cameron, who called for the recount, withdrew his request at the last minute. The results were certified as is.
