If Edwards manages to win Iowa, and Florida loses it’s delegates....wouldn’t that likely boost him into the presidental nomination?

It does seem that the DNC is heavily handicapping Hillary. Which I don’t mind at all...but this race will be extremely interesting. It’s hard to guess what will come of this.

We in Florida have already sent Howard Dean a message.

The DNC does not run Florida. The Republican congress here passes the bills and the democrats and their little machinations can jump off of a bridge for all that we give a damn.

In other words, go play your little games, but don't expect us to care.

Its not like there are many dems in office here.

When it comes to criminality unions are minor league compared to some of our businesses.

I’ve read a lot of bullsh*t here at times, but your posts rank right up there with the biggest of the steaming loads.

Unions control most inner city voting machines and deliver them with clockwork regularity, right to the point of precincts reporting 100 democrat, and have done so for a century.

Businesses control nothing of the sort because they are not here to promote a socialist state in America, they are here to do business. - Take a walk.

If you are correct please explain the two terms that President Reagan served and the election and re-election of Geo.W.Bush.
I agree there is a stink but it is in your reasoning not the unions that represent less than ten per cent of the American work force.
You would be better served to place the blame for lost elections where the blame should lie, at the feed of disconnected, Belt Way Republicans who forgot who put them in office.

Florida Democrats WILL NOT be allowed to interfere with Hillary’s!! ascendency...

Too many Democrat Apparatchiks are depending on the Campaign skim for Mansion Payments and Private Jet fuel!

If Folks on the left had anything resembling a conscience, they’d realize how gullible, and how easily played they have been...

Remember the “Count Every Vote!!” nonsense from the 2000 Democrat Coup attempt?

Well, Dean has told Florida, “You Don’t NEED no Stinkin’ VOTE!!” if it interferes with the Master Plan of the Washington Democrat Establishment.

They have laid this plan CAREFULLY, for YEARS, spending MILLIONS to move the early primaries to easily controlled Democrat Machine states.

They did this to give Hillary!! easy early victories, and building an “inevitability” toward the nomination, preventing her from having to campaign “Left”, and exposing her TRUE beliefs to the Sheeple...

“I don’t have the confidence in the broad American electorate.”

90% of the Media donates to Democrats....
The New York Times Editorial Board calls ITSELF, “the Gay Mafia”...

The Voter Fraud will be utterly BREATHTAKING in 2008, and the amount of leftist lies and propoganda utterly astounding. We minimalize all of this at our own risk. (And that of our CHILDREN)

If the Democrats can get by with disenfranchising THIER OWN folks who won’t comply, Imagine what the Hillary MAchine intends to do to US, or anyone that dares stand against them?

Here is the Hillary California playbook. Massive early absentee voting in Calif. on Jan 7-14 will overwhelm Iowa and then New Hampshire. http://www.snapdrive.net/files/484319/hillary_playbook_in_california.pdf

"The state ran afoul of the committee’s new primary rules when it decided to adhere to a new state law that moved the primary to Jan. 29, in violation of the DNC rule preventing unapproved states from holding a nominating contest before Feb. 5."

Sounds to me like somewhere there's a Florida Republican laughing his head off!

"I’m not flamming anyone"

This phrase is posted regularly at DU. In 1.5 years and just under 3300 posts, I have not seen it here.

I agree with you somewhat, however, political parties pay a price at the polls businesses get sued. What are the consequences for the union thugs?

BTW, union thugs are the reason I’m self employed. I never bought the idea that companies ‘owed’ me anything more than what I earned at the end of the week. Now, I hire people to do the work needed. I never GAVE anyone a job!

You had to reach a long way to come up with a statement so lacking in intelligence.

Your post was unwarrented. I think the comment was perfectly apropriate both allegorically and intellectually.

The RNC, ladies and gentlemen, has done the nearly the same thing in Florida. Rather than excluding ALL of the delegates from Florida from the nominating convention as the DNC has done, the RNC is threatening to exclude only HALF of the Florida Republican delegates to the convention. The law to have the primary on the certain date was signed in by our Republican Governor after is was approved by our Republican lead legislature. Does any of it make sense?

"in violation of the DNC rule preventing unapproved states from holding a nominating contest"

I get the feeling this wouldn't be happening in a reliably blue state.

Or, after accusing some Republicans of trying to disenfranchise some Floridians, all Democrats are now acting to disenfranchise all Floridians.

The DNC: count every vote, except when we say they don’t count.
