Poll question: Should we ask Bill Clinton to arbitrate a compromise on Florida and Michigan?
Advertisements [?]
You all know the issue. It has been raging on these pages for days. Unless there is a compromise, there is a good likelihood that seating of Florida, Michigan, and perhaps other delegates, will end up as a nasty floor fight at the Denver Convention. Think national TV and Wolf Blitzer and Candy Crawley salivating at Democrats bickering with one another.

Using the "rogue" slur on Democrats in Florida and Michigan is ugly and uncalled for. "Rogue states" is a term used by Bush to slam any country that refuses to submit to his will. We shouldn't be using RW lexicon in an intra-party squabble.

Since no one has stepped forward to resolve the issue, should we ask Bill Clinton to iron out a compromise between the DNC, Florida, Michigan, and any other interested party? Surely, the man that brought Israelis and Palestinians together can do at least as much with Democrats!

What say you?
