I don't think Obama suffers in Florida or Michigan just because he played by the rules in bypassing their primaries.

I don't think he suffers in Michigan, I do think he suffers in Florida. Furthermore I think Hillary can warp this whole thing to make it seem to many in those states that Obama didn't want to allow them a revote. I don't blame him either.
In Michigan, I think he suffers because of NAFTAgate. She can point across the Detroit River at Hamilton, Ontario and the Ford, GM, and Chrysler manufacturing plants and stick it to Obama.
I mean, imagine Hillary giving a televised speech (to be replayed ad infinitum) saying she'll fight for industrial workers and so on, and then say, "While I'm here, Senator Obama is right across the border telling the Canadians his talk about NAFTA is just political posturing. Don't take it seriously, he tells them." I think that could produce a 300,000+ vote margin in MI alone.
On a matter of principle, I'm not sure whether it's right to allow MI & FL to have revotes, but from a political standpoint, I'd love to see Clinton snatch the nomination from Obama as if she were snatching a lollipop from a baby.
Newsweek can release another issue titled "Their Will Be Blood" but with different faces.
