Pelosi: FL & MI shouldn't decide nomination

In a blow to Hillary Clinton's dimming campaign hopes, Speaker Nancy Pelosi said that states who defy party rules should not be rewarded with deciding the race.

While the Democratic decision to disenfranchise Florida and Michigan was both foolish and undemocratic, all the candidates agreed not to campaign there. Only Clinton had her name on the ballot in Michigan. For her to win the nomination on a mock primary would cause such a rift in the party that her chances of winning in the fall would be nil, and would hurt every Democrat up for election.

Democrats need to find some other way to restore Florida and Michigan voting rights, which are key states for the fall. Seating delegates who don't represent most of the voters is worse than not seating any at all.

Pelosi will not back seating MI & FL to give a candidate a majority.
