Without Fla. and Michigan a candidate will not win the election.

I believe it was a GOP controlled state congress in Fla. that set the primary date knowing the Dems would penalize the state.

I don't think charging the states MILLIONS of their citizens tax dollars to set up new elections will win the Dems any votes.

I don't think ignoring them will win any votes.

I don't think the DNC handled the situation correctly and if I were a conspiracist... I would say it was almost as if the DNC truly didn't want to carry those states come Nov. OR they believed the "anti Bush/GOP" votes in Nov. would outweigh those votes lost in the punishment.

Hilary did make a good move in Michigan in making sure she was on the ballot there. So she can in Nov go in and say that she at least tried.

It's all very interesting and come Nov. I have a feeling this may be what wins/loses the election, it will definitely factor itself in at the very least.

It's going to be a very fun year to watch the candidates jockeying and destroying each other, maybe it'll take the focus off of millions losing their homes, jobs, and gas prices reaching $5 a gallon.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
