Bill Bradley and Nita Lowey were on Meet the Press this morning and Tim Russert (aka Pumpkinhead) and Bradley had the following exchange:
TR: What should happen to Michigan and Florida?
BB:Well, I think the rules are the rules. MI and FL both knew that they wouldn’t be seated if they moved their primaries up. They decided to do that anyway. I mean if we want to make sure that MI and Fl are seated, well, then, don’t let that determine the outcome. They get a 50/50 division and go into the convention, everybody will be there.
TR: Are you disenfranchising the voters of MI and Fl with that position?
BB: Well, I think this is not the voters, per se, but the parties of those states made that decision and there are consequences for that decision.
