If you don't campaign, people vote based on a name.

If you want to argue that the name "Clinton" isn't better known to the general populace, most of whom aren't political junkies like we are, than the name "Obama" then I have some land in Florida to sell you.

Thus, if the candidates didn't campaign, the MI and FL votes are name recognition contests, not actually primaries, which is why they are both invalid.

Democracy depends upon the education of the citizenry - if the citizens never had a chance to meet BOTH the candidates and decide their votes based upon that information, how can one honestly say that democratic processes even took place?

In MI's case, where Obama followed the rules and Hillary did not, how can you even call that an election when there wasn't a proper choice on the ballot?

Hillary supporters are insane at this point, thinking that FL and MI are in any way valid. The idea of seating the delegations as voted is beyond ignorant...we need a new word to describe this sort of illogical, self-destructive zealotry...
