If I remember correctly, the DNC said it would not seat Florida's delegates. But the "super-delegates" CAN consider the popular vote of Florida in deciding whom they will support without violating the rules, which to me seems rediculous anyway. After all, since when does a non-elected committee have the right to tell individual states when they can hold elections (and that goes for both the Democrates and the Republicans) and then punish them for not towing the line?
The superdelegates can consider anything they want to.
Electability and the popular consensus will be the main factors in their decisions, and Obama has had a lock on both for quite awhile now. It's too late to change that, no matter how the rest of the primaries go.

In my opinion, the DNC is made up of a bunch of jokers. They will pay a hefty price in November.
The dems will run the country the same way they run their party.
Is that in comparison to the way the Republicans have run their party?
How they have run the country is the less flattering example, I'd say.
