Senator Bill Nelson is a Clinton supporter and a Florida superdelegate. He has been making the rounds on all the talk shows pushing for a Florida re-vote, so that the Florida delegation could be seated at the convention. (Note: I do believe the people of Michigan and Florida are entitled to primaries in accordance with DNC rules.) His justification for why Florida should be able to hold a re-vote is that in Florida they "believe in the principle of one man one vote."
The rich irony is that Bill Nelson wants the Florida delegation to be seated so that he can cast his superdelegate vote. Each superdelegate vote is now worth about the same as 9,500 regular people's votes. Maybe what Bill Nelson meant to say was that in Florida they believe "all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others."
