Prediction: Dean Phillips wins the NH Democratic Primary...

46. They refused the alternative date that was offered to them because they didn't want to take a backseat to South Carolina

When they did that, they forfeited the right to have a say delegate-wise. They were *literally* offered an alternative date where they could have voted and had their delegates treated as any other state. They refused. Now, it matters little. The DNC may agree to some sort of deal where they still seat them but they only count as 1/2 a vote like they did with Michigan in 2008, but that matters little and it occurs only after-the-fact. Negotiating with them for such an agreement before they cast their vote basically rewards them for their behavior and defeats the purpose of sanctioning them for doing what they did.

So, I reiterate, Jaime probably had no clue what you were talking about.
