Shooting themselves in the feet

Seems, according to CNN, that the Democrats are trying to undo their earlier refusal to count the primaries held in Florida and Michigan, whose dates were moved in spite of party rules against it. "The national Democratic Party stripped Florida of its 210 national convention delegates as punishment for the state's decision to move its party primaries to January 29. Michigan received the same treatment after moving its primary date to January as well, losing its 156 convention delegates." The states are refusing, rightly, to refund the millions necessary to put on the elections again, and the DNC doesn't want to pay, either. "Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean said the states can either come up with a new plan to choose a slate of delegates or appeal to the party's credentials committee when the convention opens in August."

Sounds to Rico like a likely candidate for a taxpayer lawsuit...
