Poll question: Whither Florida and its delegates? |
|
Some new group has a poll out saying that 30% of Florida Dem primary voters say they wont vote for a Dem in November if they have no say in national convention delegates.
Where does everyone stand on the issue?

Why should Dems in FL show to vote for the party that told them they didn't matter a few months earlier?
It ain't rocket science.

They broke the rules, now deal with it. Florida is hopeless anyway. McCain will win here.
You can win without Florida. Don't give them any more sense of importance than they already have.

9. On the day Fl had their primary |
|
I thought... "wow.. what a bunch of fricken' idiots" They were told their votes wouldn't count and did it anyways... so they *shouldn't count. My state is *way more important than Fl and we would have moved ours up if we knew we knew it would still count... so it's really not fair to non Floridians if it counts.
(and there's more of us than them)
That's what I thought in January. I still feel that way, but now I've chosen Obama over Hillary.
Oh yeah.. now I live in Fl. I no longer "think" they're a bunch of fricken' idiots.

12. Michigan and Florida CAN'T count -- because that would hurt Obama. |
|
Under no circumstances shouls anything be allowed to happen that lessens Obama's chances of seizing the nomination without letting everyone vote.
Use whatever excuse makes you feel the fuzziest, but the truth is the Obama Cammpaign DOES NOT WANT ALL DEMOCRATS TO VOTE.
Because is this contest were truly fair -- if every democrat had a vote -- Obama would lose and we ALL know that.
