For our fundamental right to have our votes count. I completely fail to see how you are "held hostage" by that right. My voting on the date prescribed by the State Legislature had absolutely no effect on your rights whatsoever.

And I realize that the word "compromise" has been debased quite a bit in the last seven years, so I'll remind you that a compromise has to be approved by ALL parties in a dispute.

So if the DNC wants to be pig-headed about an arbitrary rule that was completely unnecessary and disenfranchise FL voters, then yes, the DNC (and America) is going to pay with a McCain Presidency. Disenfranchising people should come at a high price. The highest possible price.

Incidentally, I'd believe the DNC's hand wringing if they were to deprive FL of its superdelegates. After all, those are the people who had the best chance to change things to comply with the DNC's delicate sensibilities. But, nope. Those superdelegates will be seated. Instead, the DNC took away the votes of those who are weakest. I suggest that they drop the "D". Screwing over the weak is not a traditional value of the Democratic Party.

Frankly, I never thought I'd see the day when Democrats would argue for disenfranchising their fellow Americans and fellow Democrats. And for such a trivial reason at that.

Guess the DNC really, really wants a McCain Presidency. (It would make some sense, too.)
