It was a Democrat who introduced the legislation to move the primary up in violation of party rules. It’s a sad, sad day when elected people think they have to play to the media, instead of to the voters, and that’s what this is about — being first out the gate so they can catch first media wave.

So what’s to be done? The party won’t budge. The only option Florida’s Democratic Party has, given the fact that they cannot recall the legislation they foolishly initiated, is to beg and grovel to the DNC and work with them to find an alternate way to assign legitimate delegates that the DNC will seat at convention.

I suggest the Florida Party start working on a caucus to be held AFTER the legal primary would have been held…

Just proves that ALL THE BELTWAY POLITICAL ORGANIZATIONS ON BOTH SIDES are about as irrelevant to the American Body Politic as is George W. Bush and everything else in US NON-GOVERNMENT.
What a sorry collection of know nothing/do nothing FOOLS!

Trish, I agree 100%. In all my years of observing politics, this has to be one of the most asinine thing I have ever witnessed by a national party.

If Democrats don’t “move on” – and begin to concern themselves less with punishing Florida and more with actually doing something to win votes in Florida – this state may never go for another Democrat in my lifetime.
