DNC likely to snub Michigan

This issue upsets me greatly. I personally don't believe that a national party like the DNC or even the RNC for that matter, should have the power to dictate when a state can or cannot hold their primary! I firmly believe that the Michigan Democratic delegates (and Florida) should be able to fully participate at the national convention. People voted, their voices should be heard. Democrat, Republican, Independent. Every vote counts, and this makes it sound like the Dem's votes in Michigan and Florida do not count. Your voted counted.

Members of a Democratic rule-making committee appear unlikely to allow Michigan and Florida to fully participate in this summer's national convention, raising the possibility of a divisive floor fight over the states' disputed primaries at the start of the fall presidential campaign.
In Florida Wednesday, Sen. Hillary Clinton toughened her call for seating her delegates in Denver. She told supporters that discounting the votes "on technicalities" would violate the basic rules of democracy. And in an interview with The Associated Press, she threatened to take her fight all the way to the convention floor -- a possibility from which her campaign had previously shied away.
U.S. Sen. Carl Levin, one of the architects of Michigan's early primary, said he would support a convention-floor fight if Michigan's full delegation isn't seated -- though Levin signaled he was less concerned about how many delegates are awarded to Clinton and Sen. Barack Obama.
The statements come as attention turns to a May 31 meeting of the party's Rules & Bylaws Committee to consider the Michigan-Florida issue.
