From The New York Review of Books.
While a revote in the Michigan and Florida may be bad, letting this go to the convention is worse. Of course, the third option of counting the original votes would mean relying on illegitimate elections and the fourth option of allowing Super Delegates to decide the election in favor of the pledge delegate winner without counting Michigan and Florida seems a tad dangerous, especially if this occurs before all of the states vote. But option four may be the least worst option if there is enough separation between the two candidates in terms of pledged delegates (say 100 net difference).
I doubt Florida will be in play for Democrats in the fall no matter what the outcome of this fiasco will be. However, because of economic problems, Michigan will remain blue regardless of whether or not the people voted.

Yes!!! The votes must not count as is. Thank GOD we all agree on that, Right? SOmething we can All grab ahold of!!! Yipeeee!!!!
Revotes are the only way. And, Hill will likely win them both. And, likely it will nnot be enough, Obama will win, he's racked up too big of a lead. And, if that happens we must shill for Obama, including Hill. And she'll do it if that's what it comes to, and proudly.
Harrogate does hope that there's a chance a Demo could take Florida in the fall, though. But, you're probably Right about that too. It's going to be hang on to Michigan, hang on to Pennsylvania for Dear Life.
And then please for the Love of God find a way to turn Ohio, Mizzou, Virginia Blue. Something real easy to do, like that.
If you want Ohio and Pennsylvania take Clinton.
If you want Missouri, Wisconsin, Iowa, Colorado, Virginia, New Mexico, and Nebraska, take Senator Obama.
Harrogate maintains either Dem will get Wisconisn. That's his story and he's sticking to it.
But you're saying, there's no way for One of the candidates, no matter which, to, say, keep Pennsylvania (Rendell will fight hard for Obama if it's Obama), add on Ohio, and the maybe also sneak in Virginia and Mizzou?
