    It seems to me that this problem which was created by the DNC, which should have recognized that their disallowing those elections was going to cause this very problem...should be solved by the DNC. The states shouldn't have to pay a dime to solve the problem.

    I have read that the Mich legislature is going to pass a bill to require a new primary..who's going to pay though? Same in Fla.

    Unless they have new primaries the results could hardly be seen as the will of the people. No telling how many people stayed home since their vote wasn't going to count for anything they were told.

    Given the abysimal performance of the Dem led congress and this cluster$$$k by the DNC. How can any sane person want the democrats running the country.

    The reason that there is a primary problem here in Michigan is that our inept governor defied her own party and decided to move Michigan's primary up so it could be more relevent. In a state that is economically depressed she managed to rob it of the advertising revenues and hotel and restaurant revenues that are brought in during a political campaign. The ironic twist is that the Michigan primary this year would have been a real critical one.
    The Dems. alone caused this problem. They can pay for it.

    I no longer live in Florida, but if I did I would object to taxpayers paying for the new election. The Dems want the election, let them pay for it.

    The Republicans didn't want the elections moved either and they took half the delegates away from each state. But the election did count.
