About 200 Democrats from Florida did indeed picket outside the Democratic National Committee headquarters building on Ivy Street in Southeast Washington today. According to my colleagues at CongressDaily, Rep. Corrine Brown (D-FL) threatened to "shut down the convention" unless the full delegation were restored. Many of the protesters were members of LULAC, a Latino-rights group.

Rep. Corrine Brown (D-FL) threatened to "shut down the convention" unless the full delegation were restored By my calculations that means HRC picks up about net +50 delegates with all of Fla's delegates.
Hey! I thought only BHO's side was threatening violence!

Question: How can a private organisation (the DNC) make decisions that affect the citizens' right to have their vote counted for public officials?
Because it's not a vote for a public official; it's a vote to choose the nominee of that same private organization. The DNC has a right to set its own internal rules.
And I'm not standing up for their decision, either. It has to be one of the stupidest moves by a political organization, EVER.

“That’s photoshopped ‘steam’ coming out of the girl’s ears, to show her anger at Howard Dean and the DNC. ;-)”
LOL! Good one.
