9. Here are the facts about Florida. Don't go opining without them.
http://www.fladems.com/page/content/makeitcount-faqs/#q3

The main points are:

It was Republicans, not Democrats, who moved the primary up. The Dems tried to stop it.

ALL Democratic candidates were on the ballot. All candidates were treated the same.

(Not included in this background piece is that the only Democratic candidate who advertised in Florida was Obama.)

I don't know about Michigan, but a review of the above facts convinces me that Florida's delegates deserve to be seated. Otherwise, we are disenfranchising an important state solely because the Republicans manipulated us into it.
