If they don’t care about your presidential preference as a democrat, it’s not too late to change your affiliation. Feel like an independent? Or should we just do nothing. Ethics has reached a new undemocratic low with this manuever.

Its hard to believe that people like Scott can even survive in this world the way they get things so twisted around.

Remember Scott it was your party that tried to use the hanging chad issue to steal an election.

A dozen investigations only showed that some democratic run countys did a sloopy and questionable job

I am 43 and have voted democratic every year since I was 18. I am so appalled that the DNC is stripping our delegates and disenfranchising Florida. If this indeed happens, I will change my party affiliation, and will not vote the democratic ticket, and will urge every democrat I know to do the same.

If I was the State Democratic Party, I’d say fine. We’ll hold a state convention earlier than the national convention to see which Democrat we will have listed as the Democratic candidate for President on the Florida ballot. After all, it’s the State Democratic Committee that does all of the paperwork in order to get the candidate listed on the Florida ballot, not the DNC. The thought of a big electoral state nominating say, Obama, before the national convention was even held would send a shiver up the DNC’s spine. Not to mention all of the other Democratic candidates. I’m betting another solution would quickly be worked out.

Will the tax payers in Florida now get stuck with the bill for a primary and a caucus?

Scott, Bush got all the legal votes and won. Deal with it. Look to 2008.

Primaries should be held in a line from the smallest to largest ( pop. ) states. They should have set number of weeks between dates and there should be a manditory number of townhall public meetings in each state by the candidates. All advertisements including yard signs and bumper stickers should have a tax to fund inclusive publicly funded debates.

As a Democrat and a Floridian, all I can say is one thing. Because of a hanging Chad, we have an idiot in the White House. Does any of this surprise you?

If political parties are private associations of individuals and able to enforce the group’s own rules, then they ought to pay their own way. No taxpayer-financed primaries, no taxpayer subsidized conventions.
