30. I am from Florida and I am angry. I am angry to the point of
probably not voting for the Party's candidate. I will certainly vote D, but probably not the party candidate.

I see it a bit differently (and am once again ready to be lambasted).

Yes - I think the state leaders screwed up. But . . . I do not believe the rule - or more appropriately the "punishment" - should have even gone this far.

The charter of the policy CLEARLY states that all party members will have equal rights in selecting a candidate. That said
- how can the DNC decide to punish the voters for the action of the party leaders?

Punish them in other ways - withhold funding, deny nat'l roles with the party. But - DO NOT DISENFRANCHISE voters! This is just wrong. (and please - no more "thems the rules" responses - those are just too lame)
