...it sounds like they could've easily just said "...we're not with them..." to Dr. Dean and made some other provisions.

Something aint right...were there's smoke there's fire and Florida has been hot since 2000.

Thank you in advance for your input.

2. When I moved to this state,
I never expected my vote to count. They have proved me right. No, I will not vote for McCain to spite them.

3. The Dem leaders in those states wanted to move the Primary
dates just as much as the Repubs did, eveidenced by near-unanimous votes. The "disenfranchisement" of Dem voters is on their hands.

4. "........and made some other provisions."
There have been several states with different primary dates for the Democrats and Republicans.

Floridas Democratic leaders could have held their primary at a later date than their GOP counterparts wanted.

But......they didnt, and that makes them the guilty party here.

6. Michigan is not a GOP led state.. this is Gov. Grandholm's fault (a Hillary supporter)
