I will vote for whoever has the most pledged delegates at the end of the primaries. Period.

[ecstatic]

If Hillary somehow overtakes Obama in the pledged delegate count, then she will get my vote. I would be holding my nose and damn near vomiting at the polls, but I would do it, just as I did in 2004 when Kerry overtook Dean. Also, I will only accept FL & MI's results in the case of an actual do-over (primary or caucus).

That is my litmus test. I will NOT compromise my values for any reason.

1. pledged delegates are lame

superdelegates are where it's at.

2. Even if FL and MI are counted

Hillary won't overtake Obama's superdelegate lead. That's what happens when you dig yourself a huge hole losing 11 straight contests, many by blowouts. I think that all of Obama's wins except for 3 were double-digit wins, and 3/4s of his wins were by 16 points or more. Hillary's main problem has been when she wins it's not by much, but when she loses, she gets blown out. 29 point blowout in VA and 17 point blowout in Wisconsin stand out in my mind. No reason why she should have been pummeled that badly.

3. are you a superdelegate?

4. yeah - you sure wouldn't want to listen to those several million voters in Florida

and Michigan.

I guess it would do no good to point out that any punishment coming from the DNC was as a result of the STATE LEADERS and not the voters.

Go ahead and not listen to them. screw 'em.

5. Get off your soapbox

Everybody knows that FL and MI will be seated. The DNC just has to make them jump through some hoops beforehand. Otherwise, they'll just move their primary to the same day as the Iowa caucuses in 2012. The DNC understands this. Make the lawmakers in MI and FL sweat a little bit. Everyday that goes by they have to answer phone calls from their constituents who are mad at being disenfranchised. I think the DNC is just trying to punish the lawmakers a little bit. Bottom line is FL and MI will eventually be seated.

6. what do you mean - get off my soapbox.

I am not allowed an opinion?

I know they will be seated - I was just commenting on the OP

You know - there may be varying views on your assumption. I live in Florida and can assure you that Floridians are just as angry at the DNC - and for good reason.
