What about the Party?

[Avalux]

If Hillary Clinton decides to fight the DNC for delegates in Michigan and Florida, who will you support? I admit I am an Obama supporter. But overall, don't we want to maintain the integrity of the Democratic Party? If there were decisions made and agreements passed before the primaries, shouldn't all Democratic candidates honor them?

1. Maintaining the "integrity of the party" requires states not confront the party

I would say theres no integrity of the party if the party cannot be allowed to uphold sanctions agreed upon by all concerned.

By the way, that phrase "all concerned" doesnt just include the candidates, that also includes the states of Michigan and Florida who were notified in advance what they were facing but went ahead and moved their primaries up in the schedule anyway.

That is actually a tacit agreement by those states to abide by the punishment, and the party will be weakened if that punishment doesnt stand.
