As the Florida and Michigan voters were not given the opportunity to participate in an officially sanctioned primary, the "votes" that residents of these states cast were nothing more than formalized responses to a polling question.
These illegitimate contests should not be referred to as Primaries, so as to in any way equate them to the true officially sanctioned Primaries and Caucuses.
The Timeline Matters
If Michigan and Florida had been stripped of their delegates in any way after voters had spoken, their would be a logical and legitimate argument that voters were disenfranchised. THIS IS NOT WHAT HAPPENED.
As the DNC ruling occurred before a single voter cast a ballot and every newspaper, tv station, radio station, etc as well as recent web pages informed the voting public that their votes would not count, their votes became "votes" or rather a formalized answer to a polling question included on a local ballot, holding no more weight with the rules in effect at the time than an exit poll.
No one who answered this poll question on their ballot is being disenfranchised after the fact. They and every registered voter were disenfranchised the moment the DNC imposed their penalty. To pretend otherwise is intellectually dishonest by ignoring our cultural acceptance of the space time continuum having a forward momentum. A happens before B which happens before C. The Effect happens after the Cause.
Now I am not trying to defend the punishment put forth by the DNC. The complete stripping of all delegates was shortsighted and only manageable under a situation where there is an overwhelming majority of votes for one candidate. However, I will say that all candidates are equally guilty of going along with this disenfranchisement by not speaking up prior to the start of the primary season. For Clinton to pretend otherwise now is dishonest and destructive pandering.
The "will of the people" can not be discerned from these Polling Questions as a substantial number of potential voters chose not to participate, just like I choose not to buy out of date lottery tickets.
The true insidiousness of Clinton's pandering and finger pointing on this issue is the damage it does to the perceived legitimacy of Obama. Even normally rational Clinton supporters will be able to morally justify voting against, or not voting for the candidate, who most closely reflects the stated policies and goals of their chosen candidate through the intellectually dishonest viewing of the popular vote lead she claims.
When individuals knowingly "vote" in an unsanctioned contest, the sum total of those "votes" (answers to polling questions) carries no more legitimacy than the sum total of attendance of each MLB teams games determining the World Series winner.
The sports metaphors have been flying lately and are hardly original yet worth restating. The candidates (Teams) agreed to the rules set forth by the DNC (MLB) in advance. To take mutually agreed upon non-sanctioned contests (Spring Training)like FL/MI and use them to determine the pennant winner (Democratic nominee) is both dishonest and morally indefensible.
Bonus Super Delegate Section for Fans of Logical Thinking.
As an aside, the Super Delegates were obviously not designed to be the deciding factor in the nominee process. If that was the intent, clearly there would need to be more Super Delegates than regular delegates. Even if a candidate was deemed as having a smaller chance of being elected by the Super Delegates they could not overrule the voters if the necessary delegates for nomination were obtained through the normal State contests.
So, if the Super Delegates do not have the inherent numbers to overrule all decisions by voters, why do they truly exist? Regardless of intent, this very numerical ratio only allows them to overrule the voters in situations where the vote is close and morally only when there is a clear situation where the leading candidate can not be elected. This is in no way clear and the Super Delegates are morally bound, though not legally, to avoid overruling the will of the voters in legitimate Primaries and Caucuses.
