Elections 2008: Should Florida and Michigan get do-overs?

Florida has recently proposed a plan to re-do its democratic primary election after its votes were nullified when it moved up its contests against Democratic National Convention rules. (Michigan suffered the same fate)

Ballots would be cast via in-person and mail-in votes with the primary being held on June 3. The proposal would be sent to the DNC in mid-April following a fundraising and comment period. A re-do is expected to cost between $10 and $12 million.

Florida has 210 delegates to hand out should they get a re-do. Michigan has 156. Clinton won both primaries the first time around.

TELL US: Do you think these states should get a re-do? If not, what should be done with their delegates?
