It would be in Obama's best interest to give her exactly what she wants since he wins the delegate count anyway, even with her getting the full FL/MI count. If she doesn't get that, she will have an excuse to appeal any Rules Committee decision all the way to the convention, and she's indicated that she will.

But my question, will the DNC agree to that even if Obama says it's okay? Or will they insist that their has to be some punishment since they broke the rules? Because if they insist on punishment (even though I firmly believe it's not fair to let them vote full force), they are giving Hillary the excuse she needs to stay in until the convention.

I'd rather give them their full demand so they don't have anything to appeal even if it's unfair. If we go to the convention, John McCain wins.

1. Nah, she'll just take the popular vote from MI
and declare victory.

She can have all the delegates from MI and FL she wants, but giving her the MI popular vote while Obama wasn't even on the ballot is just plain retarded.
