Sharpton sides with New Hampshire
By Brian LawsonThe Rev. Al Sharpton has sided with New Hampshire over whether or not the Democratic National Committee should seat delegates from Florida and Michigan at the National Convention in Denver.
In a letter to DNC Chairman Howard Dean, Sharpton said "I firmly believe that changing the rules now, and seating delegates from Florida and Michigan at this point would not only violate the Democratic party's rules of fairness, but also would be a grave injustice."
Sharpton was responding to a letter that NAACP Chairman Julian Bond sent to DNC Chairman Howard Dean.
Bond wants the delegates to be seated because "It struck me as making the voters, including minority voters in Florida particularly, victims of the Republican legislature in Florida."
