DNC on hot seat over Florida and Michigan
A Democratic National Committee spokeswoman brushed off questions today about what to do about Florida and Michigan, states which Hillary Clinton won, but which held contests that weren't fully contested and didn't award any delegates.
Spokeswoman Karen Finney said on MSNBC that the state parties could hold "do-over" votes or submit proposals to the credentials committee for the national convention to get the delegates seated. "Both options are still on the table," she said.
The Florida and Michigan Democratic parties were penalized for holding their primaries before when the DNC allowed. The candidates didn't campaign in the states, and in Michigan, Clinton, but not Barack Obama, was on the ballot.
Clinton has been increasingly lobbying to have her wins rewarded, arguing that Democrats can't afford to disenfranchise two states crucial to the party's hopes in November.
Finney also said that another 10 states are still to vote, suggesting that the nomination could be decided without having to settle the Florida and Michigan question. "We certainly want to let voters have their say," she said.

Do the alienate these two states that would possibly push the vote to the GOP candidate? Do they do a "do over" that will piss off not only Obama but his loyal fans? Clinton sure would like to see it happen.......
Just when the Dems seem to have a foot up they fall on their face. LOL...like kids in a sandbox.
