Well, this is it: 30 years of being a Democrat down the drain. As previously noted, the national Democratic party has decided to disenfranchise it's Florida voters because they had the gall to vote on the date that their moronic legislature - including all the moronic Democratic legislators (a minority in the state legislature) - selected for the primary.
Given that it is political suicide to toss so many voters in a swing state to the winds and the right, the National Dems did deign to permit Florida a "re-do" of the primary. This could have been quite important given the closeness of the primary contest so far. Florida legislators, you wanted to make the Florida Democratic vote big? Here was your chance...
Of course My Democratic party fu*ked it up. They said no to an expensive full primary (understandable) and said no to a cheaper mail in revote (incomprehensible). Why? I've yet to hear a good reason. The one attempt at an explanation from one of the party whigs was to say they got a lot of emails giving reasons not to have a revote. That's a reason?
The state party has no leaders, and the dolts in offices of leadership probably feel they have better things to do then go to the trouble of setting up a do-over election. They ran this primary once, and now they are OFF THE CLOCK.
I'm sure if anybody wanted to step up and get this revote done the Republican Governor would grudgingly have gotten out of the way and let it happen. He said as much, as long as it didn't cost the State coffers a dime.
So that's it. These people running the party in Florida are morons. The national party insists on cutting of their nose to spite their face (our face!). Given all this I have to wonder if maybe my state party really is a bunch of Republicans... Why not, maybe moles have been planted in the party by the same super-genius from the island of Patmos who invented white people. Can you say JEB!?
Whatever, anyhow, I'm saying "see-ya" Democratic party.
Our Republican governor and legislature is loving this. It's the perfect storm of stupidity they hoped for when they first set the January primary date. If the Dems can lose my vote, the vote of a yellow-dog Democrat, they are truly doomed. McCain, enjoy your victory in this state.
That's three presidential elections in a row Florida is screwing up. Yay, a hat trick!
