7. IMO I think a good compromise would be Florida gets seated, Michigan does not
I know that is highly unfair to Michigan but I think the fact that Edwards and Obama's names weren't even on the ballot in Michigan makes it highly unfair to Obama. I think it's unfair to tell candidates that they should pull their names off the ballot on the premise that their delegates will not count and then count their delegates.

As far as Florida goes, while they all refrained from campaigning there on the false premise that delegates wouldn't count, at least Obama and Edwards' names were on the ballot. I think it would be more fair if Florida got seated.
