So, I did mention<\/a> that you shouldn’t underestimate the Clintons. It appears that the state Democrats (not to be confused with Florida’s congressional delegation) want a redo and are working to get one<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Florida Democrats plan to propose a vote-by-mail presidential primary despite objections from members of the state’s congressional delegation to a do-over vote.
\nState Senate Democratic leader Steve Geller said the party hopes to have a proposal ready by Thursday that would allow a 30-day review period and a vote by the party’s executive committee April 12 on whether to hold the election. A likely deadline for mail-in ballots to be returned would be June 3.
\n[…]
\nSen. Hillary Rodham Clinton won Florida and Michigan, although Clinton was the only major candidate on the ballot in Michigan.
\n“In my view there are two options \u2014 honor the results or hold new primary elections. I don’t see any other solutions that are fair and honor the commitment that 2.5 million voters made in the Democratic primaries in those two states,” Clinton said Wednesday.
\n[…]
\nBut members of the Florida’s congressional delegation said in a statement late Tuesday that they oppose such a step “or any redo of any kind.”
\nOfficials at the Democratic National Committee were working behind the scenes to get the Florida delegation to come together and agree on a solution to get the delegates seated.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And then there’s this:<\/p>\n

Clinton also told NPR in an interview that she believes the Michigan results are fair and should be honored even though Obama’s name wasn’t on the ballot.
\n“That was his choice, remember,” she said. “There was no rule or requirement that he take his name off the ballot, and his supporters ran a very aggressive campaign to try to get people to vote uncommitted. So it wasn’t that he didn’t participate at all in fact there was a real effort to get people vote uncommitted, and I still won 55 percent of the vote.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Wow! Didn’t she agree to the rules? Obama should have realized something was up when Hillary kept her name on the ballot. Maybe he should have kept his on as well.
\nShe really is quite unbelievable and what’s amazing is she gets away with it just like her husband.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
