32. You're trying to change the rules of the dance not adhere to them...
The rule going into the primary was "there were no delegates". To change the rule now that's it's too late to vote is wrong. I think that the plan was to, after the nominee was chosen, slap the states on the wrist and allow Florida and Michigan to have delegates but it may not work out that way. Keep in mind that these states VIOLATED the rules.
You might as well say that since Al Gore wasn't on the ballot we might as well assign delegates to him too from every other state be deciding how many people would have voted for him if he had stepped up to the plate. After all the voters in those states didn't get a chance to vote for him did they? It doesn't matter if Al didn't bother to run.

Maybe we should change the World Series next year to best of 9 if one team wins the first 4 games. That way the people who bought tickets for game 5 gets to see the game. That would be only fair right?

Question: What do we do about those ticket holders of games 6 and 7?
