The delegates are not exactly "lost"; last I heard, Michigan and Florida would probably still have convention delegations, but their votes on the Presidential nomination would be automatically split half-and-half between Clinton and Obama without polling them. (There's a lot of other things for convention delegates to vote on, actually.) I believe the state governments both set their primary dates, but of course that involved members of both parties knowing they were violating party rules. (There's a Republican National Committee member from Florida on record saying they knew they were violating RNC and DNC rules, and they didn't care.) They probably didn't care because they thought they could defy party rules and get the rules changed after the fact. Incidentally, the Michigan and Florida members of the DNC are reported to have voted for the date-restriction rules in the first place. It's not clear whether they did so with the specific intention of restricting everybody else, flouting the rules in their own states, and trying to get away with it.

If you are registered as Independent, you can't vote in a primary.
Only in the party that you're registered.
