No new primary for Florida Democrats
Bye Bye Hilary.....so sorry.
State party leaders have been seeking a way to have Florida's delegation seated at the Democratic National Convention.
"We researched every potential alternative process -- from caucuses to county conventions to mail-in elections -- but no plan could come anywhere close to being viable in Florida," state party Chairwoman Karen Thurman said In an e-mail sent to Florida Democrats late Monday afternoon.
Thurman said the decision now falls to the DNC Rules & Bylaws Committee, which is scheduled to meet again next month.

That just shows how screw up the DNC is. They forget it's people that make up the party. If all Democrats in Florida vote for Republican candidate, it will be Democrats' worst nightmare.

This is most important to remember at the convention and for the super delegates:
Clinton handily won Florida, winning not only most of the counties but also every county in the lower three-quarters of the state. She took 50 percent of the vote to Obama's 33 percent. Former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards, who has since dropped out of the race, received 14 percent of the vote.

NOW THE DNC HAS TO DECIDE WHETHER TO POKE THEMSELVES IN THE EYE AND SEAT ALL OF FLORIDA'S DELEGATES WITH THEIR VOTES OR, SHOT THEMSELVES IN THE FOOT BY STICKING TO THEIR RIDICULOUS "PUNISHMENT" AND ELECTING JOHN MCCAIN! THE DEMS REALLY, REALLY NEED NEW LEADERSHIP. THEY ARE BECOMING THE LAUGHING STOCK OF THE WORLD!
