Obama asks DNC to grant Florida and Michigan delegates full vote
Submitted by R. Neal on Sun, 2008/08/03 - 3:05pm.
The DNC has issued the following statement:
Today we received a letter from Senator Obama requesting that the Convention's Credentials Committee grant each delegate from Florida and Michigan a full vote. We deeply appreciate and value Senator Obama's perspective on this important issue. This matter will be the top priority for the Credentials Committee when we meet on August 24th. As always our goal is to ensure a fair process and a unified Democratic Party so that we can win in November.
From the AP:"I believe party unity calls for the delegates from Florida and Michigan to be able to participate fully alongside the delegates from the other states and territories," Obama said in the letter.

...party unity calls for the delegates from Florida and Michigan to be able to participate fully alongside the delegates from the other states and territories now that seating the delegation won't hurt my chances of getting the nomination.
Fixed.
What happened to "seating the delegation would be rewarding bad behavior" and all that stuff? Hm?
ETHICS!!!
