Crist Says He'd Support a Repeat of Florida Democratic Primary

Only if we can redo the Republican one also. So many Democrats found a way to corrupt the Republican results because they had no meaningful place to vote on their side.

“I’m hopeful that the Democratic National Committee comes to the conclusion it’s the right thing to do,’’ he said on CNN today.”

Once again Democrats cause the problem and have the taxpayer pay for it. If Florida is so important, let the DNC pay for it out of Clinton’s and Obama’s donations.

[Brad from Tennessee]

Let the DNC hold caucuses in Florida at their own expense. Taxpayers shouldn’t pay for this lunacy.

Well, speaking as a Florida taxpayer, I think if there’s do-over then it should be at the expense of the Florida Democratic Party who ignored the warning that their delegates would not be seated if they had their primary before a certain date. It’s not like the rules were changed after the fact.

I am so sick and tired of their never being ANYTHING that anyone can accept anymore. They knew what the penalty would be and chose to go along with it anyway. Why should they have their do-over at taxpayer’s expense?

Good ol’ Charlie Crist. If you want to see what’s wrong with the Republican Party of today he’s the perfect place to start looking.

I believe it is the responsibility of the National Party to take whatever action is agreed on and to pay for it as well. Haven’t heard anything about taxpayer funding for this matter.

ONE QUESTION...has a Primary ever been re-done? If so, when and who. I tried to Google it but couldn’t find anything.

[pbear8]

Someone wants to be VP.

[Tanniker Smith]

Don't like the first outcome? Let's have a do-over.

Worked in 2000 ... oh, waitaminute...

[Road Warrior ‘04]

Charlie Crist (D-Florida) errr (R-Florida) jumping into the fray. And, we elected him!

[John Jorsett]

Oh boy. I can see the lawsuits flying already, and not just on the Democrat side. The Republicans would have a legit beef that the earlier primary let Democrats cross over to vote on the R side, and a do-over would let those same Democrats now go vote on the D side as well. That would certainly seem to violate the concept of “one man one vote”.

[FoxInSocks]

Perhaps they should charge $100 (or whatever the cost would break down to) to each person who shows up to cast a vote.

[Deepest South]

Dead men vote twice too.

[rintense]

DO OVER!!!! ugh.

[littlehouse36]

Governor Crist: the man who vowed neutrality in the Republican primary, encouraged his (Romney supporting) underlings to do the same, then at the last minute endorsed McCain.

[Baladas]

But but, once is not enough! Can’t blame a RINO for trying to protract their primary process though.

I’m no Rudy fan by any means, but this “Gov. Crist” really screwed him over with the endorsement, that’s all I heard about out here on the Left Coast.

[JLS]

No we want a Dim rerun to humimliate Clinton when she loses. The GOP nomination is done. The effect of the narrow McCain win can not be undone. No sense causing ourselves problems.

[MindBender26]

Same problem with every gay Republican elected official. They roll over and play dead, or roll over and play play “Hide the Salami,” on every issue because they are so afraid the Dems will “out” them.

We have at least 3 gay R Senators. We don’t any more gay R Govs.

[cripplecreek]

Only if we can redo the Republican one also.

And every other state gets a do over too.

[Truthsearcher]

Actually I think this is great.

The more controversy we bring to the Dem’s nomination process, the more the two sides will be irreconcilably PO’ed at the other side, we are getting close to the point where no matter who wins, the other side will believe it was stolen from them and hence unable to support the other person.
