Question: Is it fair to John Edwards if DNC decides to seat the MI & FL delegates?

Here is the reason I ask: FL and MI primaries were held in month of January. Edwards was still running and decided NOT to campaign in these two states.

You never know what could have happened had he campaigned in these two states. A win in one of these states might have kept his campaign alive, might have given him momentum and money to go further in the race.

So in this light, it would NOT be fair to Edwards to have these delegates seated now! That is absolute cheating! once you say do not campaign here and then you drop out of the race, and suddenly you hear that these votes now count!

You may argue that he had no chance and he bowed anyway, it does not matter etc. However in my opinion, if these delegates are seated, he never got a fair shot at this game!
