In the end, Michigan and Florida won't matter.

There are some simple truths here, along with the whole history of the problem.

The only candidate on the ballot in Michigan was Hillary Clinton. You either voted for her or "uncommitted". That could have meant Obama, Dodd, Richardson, Edwards, Biden, etc. Obviously, Michigan can't count in Hillary's favor if she was running unopposed in a Democratic Primary. Of course, that's not the only thing, if you read the article, but it's what jumped out at me.

Even if Hillary is given "her" delegates from these states, she still couldn't catch up to Obama.

It's over.
