How can Ickes or McAuliffe show their faces on any news show without

having to explain the recent change in their position on whether Michigan and
Florida can be seated?

Why isn't that the first question, asked in context, out of every interviewer's mouth?

"Terry, as the DNC chair, you told Michigan Senator Carl Levin prior to the *last* presidential election in 2004 that if Michigan moved up its primary that it would be stripped of its delegates. You told him that changing the state's primary date against the rules would create chaos for the party. So Michigan backed down. This year, Michigan actually violated the rule. In light of your past position, how can you now say that those delegates must be included? What has changed other than your belief that enforcing such a rule would now possibly hurt your client, Hillary Clinton?"

"Mr. Ickes, in August 2007, as a member of the DNC's Rules and Bylaws Committee, you voted to strip Florida and Michigan of its delegates as a penalty for moving up its primary against DNC rules. Your committee of 30 members voted to do so 29-1. In light of your past position, how can you now say that those delegates must be included? What has changed other than your belief that enforcing such a rule would now possibly hurt your client, Hillary Clinton"

How can this not be the FIRST thing that they are asked? Why is it not, right now, the most important thing they could answer?
