Maybe I'm in the minority here, but I'm objective & mature enough to call a spade a spade and not make an argument for/against a candidate in the process.

1. Se Herija's post above for an explanation of how the rules were selectively applied.
2. I agree that if FL and MI knew the consequences and the R's had no hand in it (see above), then the hell with them.
3. The logic of #2 likely will result in the D's losing those states. The D's clearly knew that consequence when then ruled the first and second times.
4. I think the far better result would have been to allow FL and MI to revote with everyone on the ballot, thereby allowing all voices to be heard.
These arguments are wildly different than supporting on candidate over another and I'd make the same argument if W had been the victim.
