My Solution To Michigan/Florida Mess
Posted on March 8th, 2008 by Texas Liberal
Here’s my proposal for how Democrats should resolve the mess of how to include delegates from Michigan and Florida at the National Convention (this extends what was previously posted here)
Each state should be penalized 20% of its delegates for breaking the rules.
Michigan should simply re-vote since Barack Obama was not on the ballot when that state held its primary.
For Florida, the primary already conducted should count for half of awarded delegates. A caucus should be held for the other half.
There you have it.
I like it. It’s fair. It’s relatively simple, yet elegant. Bravo.
Would that keep the super delegates out of it? If the SD decide it will be a huge mess.
Station Agent–Thank you for the nice comment.
Margaret—For 2008 at least, the superdelegates are here to stay.
