Like I said, I don't think anyone was happy with the decision to strip those two states of their delegates but the damage has already been done. What about all the people who didn't vote because they were told it didn't matter? What about the people in MI who would have voted for Obama had he been on the ticket? How much of a difference would there have been had the candidates had a chance to campaign in those states? The fact those questions could not possibly be answered is exactly why those delegates cannot be reinstated. If the DNC wants to hold meetings and discuss revisions in the way they do things the next time around, so be it. This time, however, it's too late.
