Florida Demon-Rats to lose votes for Presidential Nominee if they don’t vote later
By NEDRA PICKLER Associated Press Writer - WASHINGTON Aug 25, 2007
Florida Democrats could lose their votes for the presidential nominee next year unless they change plans to hold their primary earlier than national party rules allow.
[ EDIT ] Sooooo — what’s the matter with that? 
The Democratic National Committee’s Rules and Bylaws Committee was poised Saturday to vote against Florida’s plans for a Jan. 29 primary and to strip the state of delegate votes at the national convention in Denver next year, several party officials said.
With other states rushing to set early nominating contests, Florida offers the first test of the DNC’s resolve to restore order to the schedule it set last year. Michigan and New Hampshire also are considering moving up their voting, in violation of the party rules.
Several party officials said they want to take a tough stand against Florida and send a message to other states. The shifting dates have added some uncertainty to the presidential candidates’ campaign plans with the first votes to be cast in less than five months.
Advisers to Bill-ary Kluck, who has a wide lead in Florida polls, said she will go wherever elections are held. But the DNC has threatened to penalize candidates who campaign in states that violate the rules.
Other candidates are waiting to see how the dispute shakes out. Barack Obama’s schedule had him raising money in Florida on Saturday, but his campaign said the Illinois senator might not return often during the primary season.
And, there’s now even more to this disgusting news –
What a bunch of frigging Slime-Ball Cry-Babies — most Americans would consider this as downright CHEATING!
Florida Demon-rats are once again crying disenfranchisement — this time pointing the finger at the Democratic National Committee. Party officials are set to vote today on whether to punish the Sunshine State for moving its primary up too far, to Jan. 29. The D.N.C. could eliminate all of the state party’s delegates to the national nominating convention in 2008 and bar candidates from campaigning there before the primary.
