Florida Democrats Have Voted For The Eventual Nominee Every Time Since 1976 Except 1984

[DemocratSinceBirth]

I am doing this from memory but I believe it's correct...

[sunonmars]

1. exactly why its a bellweather more than the others

[allinktup]

2. So has every other state

;-)

[DemocratSinceBirth]

3. How Do You Figure That?

on edit- I think most folks will draw the intended inference...

[allinktup]

10. Just playing with you...

[book_worm]

4. of course in other years there was a competition in the state

but that isn't happening this time.

[SoFlaJet]

5. I'm voting Obama

at least he knows the value of keeping his word and his signed pledge of NOT to campaign down here

[aquart]

6. Yeah, that's the reason.

Sure, it is.

7. Have Any Of The Candidates Broken The Pledge?

I'm in Orlando and have only seen a commercial for one of them...

8. In 2000 we learned Homo politicus var. floridensis loves to screw with

the playing field. Why should it be different in primaries than than during, and after general elections?

I suspect that no matter how the good and honest people of Florida vote, when Homo politicus sits to count votes, his tribe will, as Joe Stalin said, prove to be the force that really decides.

9. too bad this time its completely inconsequential

Thanks to the pretend Democrats who run Florida's party.
Too bad for the Democrats there that they have these asshats representing them.

If it were me; if I lived there, I'd be organizing and joining those Dem clubs and staging special delegate elections and all that other wonky crap you have to do to seize your party back from Republicans pretending to be Democrats down there.

11. It's the NATIONAL Party

that screwed us over this time...one would think that our own party would do whatever it takes to work WITH Florida democrats after all we went through in 2000

[Kucinich4America]

12. It's the DLC asshats who broke the rules

Now they want to move the goal posts again to benefit Hillary.

See, for those who doubt that the Bush-Clinton dynasty is one entity, you're getting screwed again, by the same crowd that did it in 2000.

13. They offered to help foot the bill for a later caucus

with delegates that would count and the FDP party turned them down.

[gasperc]

14. there's always an except in there

kinda makes it pointless doesn't it?

[Tulkas]

15. The results will be skewed this time because of the issue with delegates

[Medusa]

16. And how many of those primaries didn't count?

'cause this one in Florida this year damn sure doesn't. :spank:

[NoBorders]

17. Hmmm... No dems campaigned there this time

I imagine the results this time will be an exception.
