Nelson and Levin say no revotes in their states.

They have done everything in their power to thwart the DNC policy. They have been disrespectful toward Howard Dean and the DNC. They both seem to exert great power over their state parties. They both have effectively worked with other state leaders to keep the voters from having a say in the primaries.

Nelson and Levin: No Revotes

Sens. Carl Levin (D-Mich.) and Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) dismissed the possibility in interviews on Tuesday. Levin and Nelson said caucuses would effectively void the primaries in each of their states, and are pushing to have their delegates receive full voting power at the convention.

“You can’t undo an election with a caucus, especially one where 1.75 million Florida Democrats voted,” said Nelson, who filed an unsuccessful lawsuit last year seeking to overturn the national party’s decision to strip Florida of its delegates.

Levin had similar thoughts. “It would not be practical or fair to hold a caucus,” Levin said. “You’ve got 600,000 people who voted. You can’t just throw out the votes of 600,000 people.” Levin said the state will appeal to have its delegates restored by the party convention’s credentials committee this summer....

Asked about the fact that Clinton appeared on the Michigan ballot and Obama did not, Levin noted that it was Obama’s choice to withdraw his name.

Senator Nelson's office has a lot to answer for anyway. This is just one thing among many. His office lied to me about his vote on telecom immunity. When questioned they just kept spinning.

Nelson voted for telecom immunity after saying he was against it

His office said he would vote against it, but all the while he was saying things like this.

But Senator Bill Nelson, a Florida Democrat, agrees with the White House position. "At the end of the day we have to have the cooperation of the telecommunications companies, and they should not have the threat of a spurious lawsuits hanging over their heads," he said.

There is a word for what they did in the primary....manipulation of the voters. There is a word for what Bill did about telecom immunity...lying.
