Having another primary in Michigan would seem fair in that nobody was on the ballot except Hillary. In Florida however, evryone was on the ballot, nobody campaigned, so it was fair. By the way, they had a huge turnout in Florida. It dwarfed the Rep. turnout.

By and large you could say the same thing about every other primary. All Democrats, with the exception of Hillary, are being raised by the tide of Obama. Doesn't bode well for November.

According to the FL SOS website, total Republican turnout was 1,949,498. Total Dem turnout was 1,749,917.

It’s one of the few state where more Pubbies than Dems turned out, which is understandable because the Dems were told the delegates wouldn’t count, and there was a property tax reduction amendment on the ballot that was expected to turn out Republicans in droves.
