which is a very real and likely possibility after next Tuesday. If Obama has the nomination locked up, I imagine there will be a new push to seat the delegates of both Florida and Michigan. With the delegates no longer of any consequence, Florida and Michigan can argue that including them will not harm the process, and will in turn be a show of reconciliation that allows the votes "to count". But seating the delegations in any manner other than by the rules, which would require a convention floor vote, will set a horrible precedent. If everyone were being reasonable, the issue would die down after the nomination was locked up and could be addressed at the convention, but the way the FDP has acted so far, I do not believe they will be taking the reasonable course.
