To seat or not seat FL, MI delegates..

So if Obama wins, does this mean every time someone criticizes our president that Sharpton (and you can surmise Jessie J.) are going to line up and play the race card?

It'll make up for the Bush administration always playing the 9/11 card.

No. It was agreed upon by all candidates.

Ditto

if Obama wins because Florida and MI delegates didn't get seated, does it mean he stole the election?

Nope.

[I'm confused]

Well the candidates agreed to it so the argument supporting this stance is solid..So let's assume Obama wins..can he kiss MI and FL goodbye to the GOP in the national race? That's whats going to happen.. it's a lose lose for the Dems..they stand on principle on lose both states in the general election..

so if Hillary is successful and gets MI and FL delegates, does that mean she stole the election?

Nah, that just means she agreed to something and went back on it when it would benefit her.

Well Hilary was the one who said that Obama only talks about change, and she would be the one to put it in action. Maybe having this rule changed to favor her would be her first action.

It's hard to see Michigan, with 8% unemployment or whatever, not going to the Dems.

The larger issue is if Clinton somehow garners the nomination without getting a larger share of the delegates won through the primaries and caucuses due to the superdelegates and/or seating the Michigan delegation with the delegates distributed according to the results of a primary vote in which Obama's name wasn't even on the ballot.
