No Do Overs in Michigan and Florida

DNC chairman howard dean said sorry michigan and florida, no do overs. both states opted early on in the democratic nomination process not to follow the rules of the game. michigan and florida are one part of clinton's strategy to win at all costs.

Michigan and Florida have two options: either submit a new plan for a process for choosing their convention delegates, or appeal to the Convention Credentials Committee, which resolves issues about the seating of delegates.

"The Democratic Nominee will be determined in accordance with party rules, and out of respect for the presidential campaigns and the states that did not violate party rules, we are not going to change the rules in the middle of the game," he said.

update 3-6: obama's name wasn't even on the ballot in michigan, yet clinton is insisting the votes be counted.

Clinton, the New York senator and former first lady, was the only leading Democrat to appear on ballots in Michigan and made a handful of allowed fund-raising appearances in Florida in the last days before the vote, while other candidates skipped the state. She won both contests.

Now, as she trails Obama by 100-plus delegates, Clinton has called for the Michigan and Florida delegations to be seated at the party's convention in Denver, Colorado. cnn
