Comments on: Super Tuesday II is over - What’s Next? http://blogs.e-rockford.com/whywevote/2008/03/05/super-tuesday-ii-is-over-whats-next/ The Register Star has brought together a group of people from all over the Rock River Valley to serve on our Election 2008 Voters' Panel. These men and women are Republicans, Democrats, Independents and Green party members. Some are high school students. Some are retired. And some fall in between those two age groups. They all share this: The upcoming election is important and voters do have voices. They'll share them in this blog.

The rules were agreed upon, and they should be followed. I'm just saying that it would be more unfair to just up and seat the delegates than to have another special primary or caucus, which would at least allow the candidates to have a chance to campaign. And you're right about getting rid of the political hacks! I agree - I don’t think there should be a do-over, either. The rules were agreed upon, and they should be followed.

And you’re right about getting rid of the political hacks!

Florida and Michigan knew what the consequences would be and did it anyway. I don't think there should be a "do-over." Maybe the Democrats in both those states will get rid of the political hacks that made the decision to defy the national committee that cost them their voice in the most competitive Democratic primary in my lifetime. Now, that would be REAL change. Michigan, Florida and all the Democratic presidential candidates knew of and agreed to the rules about the unauthorized changing of primary dates.
