Obama and his supporters are deliberately spreading misinformation regarding the timing sanctions against both Florida and Michigan. Much of the media is parroting their press releases without referring to the actual DNC Delegate Selection Rules for 2008.

I co-wrote the following true and false about the most common myths regarding FL and MI.

One new point I would add is there are two aspects to seating these states. First, FL and MI political insiders will get VIP passes to the biggest shindig of the year. Secondly we need to count the candidate preference of the rank and file voters of these states.

Of the recent solutions being proposed the most disturbing and offensive is that the delegates of these States be split 50/50. Although political operatives get their VIP passes to the convention, the will of the voters is totally ignored. A 50/50 split would be assigning votes to Florida and Michigan Democrats. Do not refer to it as anything less.
