Fla. Dems to keep Jan. 29 primary

By BRENDAN FARRINGTON, Associated Press Writer 13 minutes ago

The Florida Democratic Party will stick with a Jan. 29 presidential primary even if it means losing all its nominating convention delegates, a party source said Saturday.

The Democratic National Committee gave the state party until Sept. 29 to come up with an alternative delegate selection plan to stay within party rules, such as caucuses or a vote-by-mail primary, but party leadership has rejected that idea.

State party Chairman Karen Thurman, members of the congressional delegation and state legislative leaders were scheduling a news conference Sunday to announce their position. State party staff has been polling executive committee members and determined at least 75 percent support for the early primary, the source said. The source spoke on condition of anonymity because executive committee members were still be notified.

The DNC Rules Committee voted last month to strip Florida of its 210 delegates if the state party held a primary before Feb. 5. Major Democratic presidential candidates have signed a pledge to restrict campaigning in Florida if it violates party rules.

Democratic Party rules say states cannot hold their 2008 primary contests before Feb. 5, except for Iowa on Jan. 14, Nevada on Jan. 19, New Hampshire on Jan. 22 and South Carolina on Jan. 29. Michigan has scheduled a Jan. 15 primary.

Florida's Republican Legislature voted last spring to set the Jan. 29 primary date, and Republican Gov. Charlie Crist signed it into law. In June, the state Democratic Party voted to go along with the date, saying it was the best chance to get as many people involved in the process as possible. It reaffirmed the vote in August.

What some would call contacts

Contacts with contacts

Contacts with contacts who have girlfriends inside the opposition

And other situations

Sounds complicated...or like a soap opera. lol

I’m glad you have those “contacts”, though.
Not that I’m surprised that you do...;o)

In some business dealings you encounter people in organizations on the other side of the country

And they know PIs who are former LA detectives and have summer college help who have “a friend” who has a relative in a hostile organization

It’s another type of networking one can learn to do and the results can be amazing

Documents (future plans and agendas and methods of circumventing tax laws for non-profits) at confidential anti-gun meetings meant never to leave a room are photocopied and sent to you and they contradict statements to Congress and the media

Those are released on a talk radio show where the host knows you have credibility

Legal tape recordings of Senator Feinstein’s staff in California volunteering all kinds of interesting information about what kind of handgun she carries and when and where - like in DC where it is illegal

And Feinstein is at it again - and I imagine those tapes could be legally played on talk radio shows at the drop of a hat - and I have no idea who has or where those tapes are

Just where and when you think there is nothing to be learned - you will find you are wrong

The FBI and the CIA should be half as effective

The FBI took overnight to Fed-Ex 911 photos to FBI district offices because of their Klintonista ignorance and incompetent staff who could not even use top dollar computers

I emailed photos within 5 minutes after I had photos with a dinky WebTV on 911

Enough said for now
