Reply #6: You asked the question, with the implication that there was no acceptable "moral" [View All]

justification for seating the Michigan and Florida delegates. There clearly is another side to the "moral" issue. Now, in fact, the decision is going to be made on purely political grounds. Conventions ultimately judge which delegations will be seated. If Obama or Clinton have absolute majorities of the uncontested delegates, they will make decision based on whether it will benefit their respective candidacies. If a neutral group of Edwards and truly uncommitted delegates hold the balance of power, then it could get more complicated, but morality will only enter into the decision as a consequence of how arguing about it will impact who will get power.
