According to the Florida Democratic Party, 295,932 votes have already been cast ahead of Tuesday's non-delegate "primary." (Remember: the DNC stripped the state of its delegates after Florida refused to abide by DNC rules.)

100,000 Democratic absentee ballots have yet to been returned.

3. I have to deal with it every day.

I deal with the local media lies and spin. The Florida Democrats screwed us by breaking the rules. They think it is just great to be first.

If anyone here thinks it is fine for two states to move up their primaries, take away the choice of the people for the nominee...then I have two words for you. Hillary Clinton.

Hubby and I voted for Obama this week. We did it show our disgust with the way her campaign people handled things about the primary.

I wrote a lot about it...you might have noticed or not. I did change a few minds when the journals were shared by the DEC here.

But not enough.

I notice it is mostly the Hillary supporters who keep posting this stuff.

4. And another thing....why is there such large turnout in the primary states so far?

Couldn't have a single thing to do with the DNC paid political directors on the ground. Could it? Nah...that would not mean a thing.

And if it were ever discovered that the 50 state plan did contribute....not a single Democrat would ever admit it.

That is the way the ball bounces.

6. Florida made their choice

The mad dash to be relevant created chaos. The DNC tried to keep things orderly. So if Florida thought they were beyond the rules, too bad.
