As a Michigander who voted in the Michigan primary, my opinion is that our delegates should not be seated, should not be counted 50-50 and should definitely not be counted as the election went. It cannot be assumed that all the uncommitted votes were for Obama because mine, for one, was for Edwards. There are too many people who DID NOT vote because the delegates weren't going to be seated. Since it's too late for another primary, they need to just drop Michigan altogether and let it go. It's impossible to "guess" what the voters who voted "uncommitted" wanted and it's impossible to "guess" how many people didn't vote because their candidate wasn't on the ballot.
Yes, it's a clusterfudge and I blame the Michigan Democratic Party officials who have had an awful lot of issues over the past few years.
