The issues for the Democratic party regarding the delegates is not going away. This, of course, is the way it should be. Determining the candidate is what the national convention is for. But clearly a decision as to how to proceed at this point did have to be made.

Would a credible solution have been to act early on and remove the Democratic State party officials who made the decision to have early elections?

This is not rhetorical. I am looking for us to have dialogue on where we should go from here. Some are suggesting a Clinton / Obama ticket. Others are suggesting we end it here. I see that there were rules made and violated but that was done by the leadership and the members, of course, want their vote counted. There may not be a way to appease everyone, but is the present solution the closest we will get to consensus?
