So, soooo much has been going on politically that it is hard to keep up with on my busy busy weekend. The main topic of course is Michigan. They are close to reaching an agreement with the Democratic party about a do over primary. Approval is required from the DNC and the Governor, who backs Clinton. MI and FL were stripped of their delegates as punishment for moving their primaries before Feb. 5. Personally, I think that is a ridiculous idea to rid a state of their delegates. It has made a mess of things, especially because the two are huge states with mounds of un-used delegates. Clinton won both MI and FL, so I can see why she would want those states back. Obama opposes FL's January election to be counted. He wanted to split them 50/50, but personally I don't see how that would be fair considering he lost. But with MI, he wasn't even on the ballot. Voters probably didn't get the choices that they really wanted. Yet he chose to make himself unavailable to those voters, so again, I think those delegates should go to Hillary. ok well...gonna research what I have been missing...
