Food fights are goofy.

I don't see how the states can bring any compelling reason after James' introduction. That was devastating. The DNC did everything to help FL & MI run a proper primary. They don't DESERVE a single delegate. Any they give will be on Obama's charity and grace.

The only compelling reason I find

Is getting the grass roots organizations organized in the states. Changing the delegate count would be crazy.

You failed to meet the original charter to be anyone's "Delegate" when you broke the fundamental timing/schedule rules you originally agreed to. The shall rules for inclusion you stated as an appeals case became mute when you failed to comply to the DNC schedule. Deals off. The severability clause is there for a reason.
