Thankfully, I think more people will vote Democratic in this election than are now projected. As I'm typing, Obama is giving his "presumptive nominee acceptance speech", as he's reached and surpassed the necessary delegates to win the nomination.
You are right - the DNC ideally should have stuck with their original punishment, but I think since Obama has literally locked this nomination up, it's a moot point. I'm glad he's made it a moot point, because if Florida and Michigan were the crux of a victory or defeat for either candidate, then the Democrats would be in a WHOLE lot of trouble. As it is, since those two issues have become moot, I think we can safely sweept them under the rug and start the push for the general. And really, I think we can win. No, I know we can win. This election is, as of right now, ours to lose - so let's get in gear and try not to fuck things up!
