utter nonsense........

[neodad]

Gee, maybe the Dems aren’t as united as the MSM would have us believe.

[mainepatsfan]

Gee I guess this means the Dem candidates will stay away from Florida. /s

[smonk]

this is brilliant. the DNC is going to disgruntle 25 electoral votes going into the general.

[Theodore R.]

No, the FL libs know that getting HRC nominated will be a matter of fact long, long before the convention. Convention delegates will be meaningless. I think FL will go for HRC, as it did for her “husband” in 1996.

[I still care]

I live in FL, and I was polled on this on the phone two days ago.

[Caipirabob]

Knowing the democrat party, it's part of an overall plan to discredit the electoral process in favor of a popular vote.

[abercrombie_guy_38]

I hope it becomes nasty...real nasty.

[Rick_Michael]

Question is...will this ensure the state our way in november?

[Brilliant]

Fantastic. The Dems ought to have the distinction of disenfranchising the State of Florida every year.

I wonder if they are going to give the same treatment to Michigan.

[Dragonspirit]

There is a lot of bad news right now for Dems, with this in Florida (and potentially Michigan), the proposed ballot initiative in California which will probably pass that would split California EC votes, and the extremly low popularity of the Democrats in Congress as they have alienated both patriotic Americans AND war opponents by being political yet ineffective sellouts.

It really could be a perfect storm in 2008 for a Republican sweep back into full power.

[no dems]

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.

Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire and South Carolina...WHAT MAKES THEM SO SPECIAL?

I hope that being disenfranchised by the DNC will make a lot of FL Dems mad enough to stay home on Election Day '08. What are the chances?

[Gay State Conservative]

IMO,one could reasonably assume that the "typical" RAT delegate from FL would be at least a bit more conservative than is the "typical" delegate nationwide.If that's true the rejection of FL's delegates would make for a more radical leftist nominee than would otherwise have been chosen.

This could well bode well for us.

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

This is simply Howie Dean working to help the third party candidates. Remember, after all he WAS/IS the third party.

Or, IBTRYMB post?

[rhinohunter]

I don't think FL rats care about losing their delegates because they know Hitlery's going to run the table anyway.

However, it does seem to indicate to me that the national DNC is forsaking FL in the general election, which in turn tells me their focus is entirely on some combination of OH, MO, NM, and NV. Possibly Kerry's poor showing in 2004 combined with Crist's high favorability ratings have led them to the conclusion that they shouldn't expend their resources in FL.
