So, let me get this straight…

Michigan and Florida were penalized by the Democratic Party for holding their primaries earlier than allowed. They were stripped of their delegates for this election, as a result. Obama’s name did not appear on the Michigan ballot, and neither candidate campaigned in Florida.

Now that she trails in the delegate count, Clinton, who won these states, wants to see their delegate slate restored? I think that if there was agreement and no complaint by the candidates about the penalty for these states before they held their elections, it lacks integrity to shift opinion on the matter in pursuit of personal gain.

The LA Times writes about it here.
