The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

[Alex]

What I'm trying to figure out is how it seems to be conventional wisdom that eventually the Michigan and Florida delegates will be seated at the convention.

If it is a brokered convention how is that remotely fair since the party asked the candidates not to campaign in those two states and Obama/Edwards were much more cooperative in that regard than Clinton, particularly in Michigan? In fact, if anything it is a bad sign that Clinton only got 50% in both states when the other two weren't even trying.
