Also, to accept the vote of the moved up election day in any fashion does not take into account the latent effect of only HRC's name on the ballot for weeks before the election (campaigning by mere existence as opposed to nonexistence).
I'm from Michigan. If we cannot have a revote which allows everyone to vote for the person they wish, by ballot, I don't want to be seated.
As you know, I agree with you. But with Clinton out there trumpeting the claim that not seating the delegates would disenfranchise FL and MI and cause some to blame that on Obama, they're going to have to be seated in some fashion. I also agree with you that the exit polls don't adequately represent the people who stayed home after the penalty was applied. But the Obama campaign supports the 10-delegate spread there, so I would say they're ready to agree to that.
Personally, I think they should seat Florida and Michigan, but move them both to the end of the roll call so that they aren't a determining factor, particularly when the roll call order will really matter.
*edit* The roll call thing, that is.
