Well, even if they're sour over getting dumped, it is hardly Obama's fault, and hardly his responsibility to fight to legitimize those null votes. People in Florida knew the fate of their ballots, so it should hardly cause consternation that those votes, quoth Hillary Clinton, "aren't going to count for anything." Personally, I think that while Clinton would likely win in a Florida re-vote, this general election disenfranchisement myth is, well, a myth. Moreover, just because Clinton is likely to win hardly justifies changing the rules so late in the game.

I just keep thinking about Clinton's response had the proverbial boot been on the other foot. There is no way she would allow a Florida re-vote if she was in the lead, and so there is no reason why things should be any different just because she's trailing behind Obama. Thems the breaks, I'm afraid, and talking about what a crummy situation it is doesn't change the fact that these are rules everyone agreed to beforehand. Does Obama clearly benefit from this? Sure. I can't say I'm displeased that this is good for him. However, that doesn't mean the situation is somehow unfair in any legal/official sense.
