I don't really care too much either way but if I were from those states I would want my vote to be counted.

There in is the problem. If you lived in Florida you got the option of voting for either candidate, but since it was still early in the cycle many voters may not have known about any of the other candidates but Hillary. Still everyone was on the ballot so you could say it was technically fair. But in Michigan the only people on the ballot were Hillary and Dodd so if you are an Obama supporter you didn't even get the option of voting for him so chances are you didn't vote, or you voted for Hillary because she was the only option. The voters should not be penalized because of what the leaders said. There is still plenty of time for another vote. The convention isn't until lat August so there is plenty of time for them to put together a vote. Of course if they do this and they wait until say early July for the vote it just strings the whole process out even longer and potentially hurts them against McCain.
