I have no problem with Hillary being in FLorida.
When Florida got the death Penalty, the penalty for campaigning in Florida effectively went away. And after the SC primary the "rights" of the first four states were protected so there is no "harm being done"

I just think it is a waste of political time given the proximity to Super Tuesday.

3. Not drinking that kool-aid thanks.
There voted do not count now and they should not count at the concention if they are apportioned on the results of Tuesday's election... None of the cnadidates have camapigned there.

2. I'd bet dollars to donuts
that the delegates will be seated, one way or another. The party would be stupid to surrender Florida.

5. I agree. I just do not think they should be apportioned based on the results.

Send an uncommitted delegation and let them be pummeled at the convention....

6. I agree for Michigan
I see no problem with Florida, though - all the candidates are on the ballot, and nobody's campaigned there. It's a level playing field - even more level than any other state, where money can be a deciding factor.

9. I vies them the same way....the voters fo to the polls with out having an adequate
to see the candidates up close... it gets based on name recongition alone. It is unfair to Edwards.

10. The fact is
a lot of states will never see a candidate - Alaska, Hawaii, the Dakotas, Wyoming, Maine... Candidates don't go to every state.

And John Edwards' name recognition is as high as it's ever going to get - he's run for President twice and was the VP nominee last time around.
