Florida Democrats select convention delegates today

The candidates have crafted strategy. They've sent out e-mail blasts to likely voters. Many have printed campaign fliers. And some are planning to bus in voters.

"There's going to be a lot of people and a lot of excitement, and a real political flavor to it," said Mitch Ceasar, a Florida member of the Democratic National Committee. "My only regret is that I don't have a campaign-button concession for Saturday."

Despite the frenzy of activity, today's contests to pick delegates to the Democratic National Convention have an Alice in Wonderland quality. No one knows if any Florida Democrats will be going to the presidential convention. Even if the state does get some delegates, no one knows whether today's winners will be among them.

State party leaders believe a delegation will be seated at the national convention in Denver, but even if that happens, it might not be based on the primary results.

4. Have you signed up with the FDP site?

I have mentioned several times in posts the past few weeks Florida was having a caucus march 1st to pick delegates for the national convention. Maybe you don't read my posts. Sorry you weren't aware. :(

2. I got an e-mail from Jon Ausman, a Florida DNC member.

He asked me to vote for his wife (His district is over 200 miles from my home) as a delegate.

I sent back this reply.

Delegates? What delegates?
