Reply #62: FL voter here who is really, really tired of Clinton supporters

[suzie]

who feel so sorry for Democrats in Florida. The party leaders are to blame, as someone else said. They had a year to do something and they started in March 2008 to make new plans.

It wasn't possible to do a re-vote in a traditional manner--the supervisors of elections vetoed that. A mail-in ballot was proposed--the Florida Congressional Delegation vetoed it.

Florida voters went to the polls thinking their votes for the presidential primary wouldn't count. Just like in 2004, when the candidate was already decided by the time of the Florida primary. But, there was major property tax item also on the ballot--the last time I heard our votes counted for that.

Florida elections seem to have a tendency not to go smoothly. The worst that could have happened would have been a totally messed up redo that would have left half the electorate unhappy.

And most Democrats who actually live in the state are pretty aware that, unlike what we hear every day from the Clinton campaign, FLORIDA IS A RED STATE that rarely elects Democrats. Better to focus on Colorado, Virginia, Oregon, New Mexico, New Hampshire--states that the Democrats might actually win instead of the fairy tale that Clinton spins about "we have to have Florida".
