"We" broke the rules, but it is important to count Mich., and Florida - - not for the sake of the party (or for Sen. Clinton to be able to claim the most votes among those who voted... whatever that means), but to ensure that voters of each state are not left out of the process. Why is it my fault - or yours - that Mich. Democrat party leaders decided to go against party rules and advance the primary? I was not consulted; were you?
I realize Sen. Clinton was the only leading candidate on the ballot, but I think it is foolish to believe that any candidate can win the White House come November without at least one of the two (realistically both) rule-breaking states. Let's not give McCain and the republicans any more issues to use against our candidate - whoever he or she may be ;)
Is it fair that Iowa and New Hampshire always kick off primary season? I don't think so. Mich. did learn a lesson... if the primary were not advanced, the state may have played an even greater role in the Dem. primary because of how this endless contest has unfolded.
What a ride so far folks! What matters most is that we coast safely in to the station... Final stop: Denver.
