		<description>Joffi,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As you know, I agree with you. But with Clinton out there trumpeting the claim that not seating the delegates would disenfranchise FL and MI and cause some to blame that on Obama, they&#039;re going to have to be seated in some fashion.  I also agree with you that the exit polls don&#039;t adequately represent the people who stayed home after the penalty was applied.  But the Obama campaign supports the 10-delegate spread there, so I would say they&#039;re ready to agree to that.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Personally, I think they should seat Florida and Michigan, but move them both to the end of the roll call so that they aren&#039;t a determining factor, particularly when the roll call order will really matter.</description>

		<description>I read and like most of the article. However it loses me at appropriating delegates based on exit polls. While this is a nice look into things, it is not a real vote.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Also, to accept the vote of the moved up election day in any fashion does not take into account the latent effect of only HRC&#039;s name on the ballot for weeks before the election (campaigning by mere existence as opposed to nonexistence).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I&#039;m from Michigan. If we cannot have a revote which allows everyone to vote for the person they wish, by ballot, I don&#039;t want to be seated.</description>
